Abstract

We report draft genome sequences for 15 non-conventional Saccharomycotina yeast strains obtained from public culture repositories. Included in our collection are eight strains of Pichia with broad tolerance to dicarboxylic acids. The genome sequences of these strains will enable comparative genomics of acid-tolerant phenotypes and strain engineering of non-conventional hosts.

Keywords: Candida; Kazachstania; Pichia; Saccharomyces; Scheffersomyces; Wickerhamiella; Wickerhamomyces; acid resistance; yeasts.
