The chromosomal evolutionary lineage of the genus Zygosaccharomyces.

ABSTRACT: Genome ploidy of Zygosaccharomyces rouxii is an intriguing topic in the field of industrial yeast research. However, the evolutionary relationship between the genome of Z. rouxii and other Zygosaccharomyces species is complex and not completely understood. In this study, we determined the genome sequences of Z. rouxii NCYC 3042, also referred to as 'Z. pseudorouxii,' and Z. mellis CBS 736T. We also conducted comparative analysis of the yeast genomes of a total of 21 strains, including 17 strains of nine Zygosaccharomyces species. This comparative genomics revealed that 17 Zygosaccharomyces strains are classified into four groups consisting of nine genome types: (i) Z. rouxii, Z. mellis, Z. sapae, Z. siamensis, and 'Candida versatilis' t-1 belong to the group Rouxii sharing four related gen
