Hello :
I converted a Genbank file to Fasta format using biojava , however the 
resulting fasta file is missing the description line. Any clues?

Here are the sample Genbank file i used and the resulting Fasta file.

LOCUS     AAU03518      237 bp    DNA             PLN       04-FEB-1995
DEFINITION  Aspergillus awamori internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1) and 18S 
rRNA and 5.8S rRNA genes, partial sequence.
ACCESSION   U03518
