Project description:We report here the genome sequence of the ascomycetous yeast Torulaspora microellipsoides CLIB 830T A reference genome for this species, which has been found as a donor of genetic material in wine strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, will undoubtedly give clues to our understanding of horizontal transfer mechanisms between species in the wine environment.
Project description:The ascomycetous yeast Zygosaccharomyces bailii is one of the most problematic spoilage yeasts in food and beverage industries, due to its exceptional resistance to various stresses. A better understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying these stress resistance phenotypes might help develop strategies to improve food quality. Thus, we determined and annotated the genome sequence of the strain Z. bailii CLIB 213(T) (= CBS 680).
