Whole-Genome Sequencing and Annotation of the Yeast Clavispora santaluciae Reveals Important Insights about Its Adaptation to the Vineyard Environment.

ABSTRACT: Clavispora santaluciae was recently described as a novel non-Saccharomyces yeast species, isolated from grapes of Azores vineyards, a Portuguese archipelago with particular environmental conditions, and from Italian grapes infected with Drosophila suzukii. In the present work, the genome of five Clavispora santaluciae strains was sequenced, assembled, and annotated for the first time, using robust pipelines, and a combination of both long- and short-read sequencing platforms. Genome comparisons revealed specific differences between strains of Clavispora santaluciae reflecting their isolation in two separate ecological niches-Azorean and Italian vineyards-as well as mechanisms of adaptation to the intricate and arduous environmental features of the geograp
