Abstract

Here, we report the draft genome sequence of Metschnikowia sp. strain JCM 33374, a nectar yeast isolated from a bumblebee (Bombus diversus). The genome of 20.1 Mb is a naturally heterozygous diploid. Phylogenetic analysis with related taxa demonstrated that the strain is very likely a novel species.

Highlights

  • We report the draft genome sequence of Metschnikowia sp. strain JCM 33374, a nectar yeast isolated from a bumblebee (Bombus diversus)

  • Phylogenetic analysis was performed to determine if the strain could be part of a novel species

  • The phylogenetic tree revealed that the strain located in the Metschnikowia clade but was different from any described Metschnikowia species

Summary

Introduction

We report the draft genome sequence of Metschnikowia sp. strain JCM 33374, a nectar yeast isolated from a bumblebee (Bombus diversus). Received 21 June 2019 Accepted 23 August 2019 Published 12 September 2019 mra.asm.org 1 Performed to filter and accept a total of 148,417 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and 30,795 insertion and deletions (indels). The observed distributions of allele depth ratios for all SNPs and indels exhibited a single peak at around 0.5, representing that the naturally heterozygous genome is diploid.
