Abstract
Aspergillus oryzae is a common fungus for traditional fermentation in Asia, such as spirit, soybean paste, and soy sauce fermentation. We report the 36.7-Mbp draft genome sequence of A. oryzae 100-8 and compared it to the published genome sequence of A. oryzae 3.042.
Highlights
Aspergillus oryzae is a common fungus for traditional fermentation in Asia, such as spirit, soybean paste, and soy sauce fermentation
Aspergillus oryzae is a strain extensively used in fermented foods and listed as generally regarded as safe (GRAS) status (1)
Comparative genomic analysis was performed with the published genome of A. oryzae 3.042
Summary
Aspergillus oryzae is a common fungus for traditional fermentation in Asia, such as spirit, soybean paste, and soy sauce fermentation. Aspergillus oryzae is a strain extensively used in fermented foods and listed as generally regarded as safe (GRAS) status (1). Soy sauce flavors fermented by these two strains are different. The genome sequence of A. oryzae [100-8] was determined with a combined strategy of Roche 454 and Solexa paired-end and Solexa mate-paired sequencing technologies.
