Lecanicillium sp. isolate LEC01 is adapted to grow in the presence of jet fuel, employing genes involved in the degradation of alkanes and aromatic hydrocarbons. The draft genome is estimated at 31,407,988 bp and has 9,737 proteins, 50.0% G+C content, and high similarity to Lecanicillium sp. strain CCF 5233.
