Article Synopsis
- A novel halotolerant yeast strain, GUBPC1, was discovered in Goa's solar salterns, capable of withstanding NaCl concentrations from 0 to 20%.
- Under varying salt levels, GUBPC1 exhibits unique morphological changes, from oval shapes to filamentous forms, and produces melanin as an intracellular pigment.
- Whole-genome sequencing revealed a 26.93 Mb genome with 9383 protein-coding genes, including various enzymes that could enhance its potential for biotechnological applications, such as plant polymer degradation.
