Abstract
Here, we present the nuclear and mitochondrial genome sequences of Pseudozyma brasiliensis sp. nov. strain GHG001. P. brasiliensis sp. nov. is the closest relative of Pseudozyma vetiver. P. brasiliensis sp. nov. is capable of growing on xylose or xylan as a sole carbon source and has great biotechnological potential.
Highlights
We present the nuclear and mitochondrial genome sequences of Pseudozyma brasiliensis sp. nov. strain GHG001
Pseudozyma brasiliensis sp. nov. strain GHG001 is a yeast-like species that belongs to the order Ustilaginales
This strain was isolated from the intestinal tract of a Chrysomelidae larva associated with sugarcane roots in plantations in Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo, Brazil, following an enrichment protocol for microorganisms that use xylose as a sole carbon source
Summary
We present the nuclear and mitochondrial genome sequences of Pseudozyma brasiliensis sp. nov. strain GHG001. Strain GHG001 is a yeast-like species that belongs to the order Ustilaginales. This strain was isolated from the intestinal tract of a Chrysomelidae larva associated with sugarcane roots in plantations in Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo, Brazil, following an enrichment protocol for microorganisms that use xylose as a sole carbon source. Based on the phylogenetic analysis of the ribosomal operon, we suggest that GHG001 represents a novel species that we named P. brasiliensis sp.
