Abstract
Here, we present the draft genome sequence of Kluyveromyces marxianus CCT 7735 (UFV-3), including the eight chromosomes and the mitochondrial genomic sequences.
Highlights
High cell mass yields are attained when this yeast is grown in low-sugar concentrations, showing its potential as a cell factory
Like the other K. marxianus strains, K. marxianus UFV-3 is capable of assimilating a variety of substrates and growing at elevated temperatures, which are desirable traits for use in biofuel production from inexpensive sources
Considering the little knowledge that exists about the genetics and physiology of K. marxianus UFV-3, as well as its potential to be used as a cell factory in the production of biofuel, chemicals, and recombinant proteins, we sequenced its genome in order to gain insights about its biochemical and genetic traits
Summary
High cell mass yields are attained when this yeast is grown in low-sugar concentrations, showing its potential as a cell factory. Besides -galactosidase, K. marxianus UFV-3 exhibits high endopolygalacturonase activity. At a low growth rate, this enzyme is strongly secreted (our unpublished data).
