Draft Genome Sequence of a Kazachstania humilis Strain Isolated from Agave Fermentation

Abstract

The ascomycetous yeast Kazachstania humilis is an active species in backslopped sourdough and in the spontaneous fermentation of several traditional foods and beverages. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of a K. humilis strain isolated from agave must from a traditional distillery in Mexico.
