High-Quality Draft Genome Sequence and Annotation of the Basidiomycete Yeast Sporisorium graminicola CBS10092, a Producer of Mannosylerythritol Lipids

Abstract

The basidiomycete Sporisorium graminicola (formally Pseudozyma graminicola ) strain CBS10092 was originally isolated from an herbaceous plant in Russia. It is a known producer of mannosylerythritol lipids (MELs), the main component being MEL-C. Here, we present the 19.9-Mb draft genome sequence, which comprises 6,602 genes, including those encoding the MEL biosynthetic pathway.
