Abstract
Itaconic acid is an important organic acid used in the chemical industry. Aspergillus terreus strain TN-484 is a high-itaconic-acid-productivity mutant derived from strain IFO6365. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of strain TN-484, advancing the understanding of the biosynthesis of itaconic acid in filamentous fungi.
