Abstract

We report genome sequences of two new isolates of the budding yeast Candida zeylanoides. Strain UCD849 from soil in Ireland was assembled into eight complete chromosomes. Strain AWD from an African Wild Dog in a US zoo was sequenced to draft level. The assemblies are 10.6 Mb and 99.57% identical.

Keywords: genome analysis; yeasts.
