Abstract
Aspergillus niger strain melanoliber was isolated from the coastal region of Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. This strain secretes water-soluble melanin attached to peptides possessing metal-chelation properties. Here, we report the whole-genome sequence of Aspergillus niger strain melanoliber. The genome was sequenced using Illumina Novaseq6000 giving a total size of 3.86 Mb.
