Can Interspecies Hybrid Zygosaccharomyces rouxii Produce an Allohaploid Gamete?

ABSTRACT: In soy sauce manufacturing, Candida versatilis plays a role in the production of volatile flavor compounds, such as volatile phenols, but limited accessible information on its genome has prevented further investigation regarding aroma production and breeding. Although the draft genome sequence data of two strains of C. versatilis have recently been reported, these strains are not similar to each other. Here, we reassess the draft genome sequence data for strain t-1, which was originally reported to be C. versatilis, and conclude that strain t-1 is most probably not C. versatilis but a gamete of hybrid Zygosaccharomyces rouxii Phylogenetic analysis of the D1/D2 region of the 26S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) sequence indicated that strain t-1 is more similar to the
