We report the de novo assembled 20.05-Mb draft genome of the red yeast Rhodosporidium toruloides MTCC 457, predicted to encode 5,993 proteins, 4 rRNAs, and 125 tRNAs. Proteins known to be unique to oleaginous fungi are present among the predicted proteins. The genome sequence will be valuable for molecular genetic analysis and manipulation of lipid accumulation in this yeast and for developing it as a potential host for biofuel production.
我们报道了红酵母 Rhodosporidium toruloides MTCC 457 的从头组装的 20.05 Mb 基因组草图,预计该基因组编码 5993 种蛋白质、4 种 rRNA 和 125 种 tRNA。在预测的蛋白质中存在已知为产油真菌所特有的蛋白质。该基因组序列对于这种酵母中脂质积累的分子遗传分析和操作,以及将其开发成为生物燃料生产的潜在宿主具有重要价值。
