Draft Genome Sequence of NYR20, a Red Pigment-Secreting Mutant of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

A mutant strain, NYR20, produces a red pigment owing to adenine auxotrophy. Unlike other yeast adenine biosynthetic mutants, this strain not only produces but also secretes this pigment. Here, we report the NYR20 draft genome sequence, thereby advancing our understanding of pigment secretion mechanisms.

Draft Genome Sequence of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Strain P-684, Isolated from Prunus verecunda.

strain P-684 is a yeast isolated from the flowers of 'Antiqua,' producing high quantities of malic and succinic acids in sake brewing. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of P-684, enlightening the mechanisms of biosynthesis of these organic acids by this strain.

Draft Genome Sequence of Glycoside Hydrolase-Producing Trichoderma asperellum Strain IC-1.

Glycoside hydrolases capable of degrading lignocellulose are important for effectively utilizing cellulosic biomass as a next-generation chemical resource. IC-1 produces various glycoside hydrolases. Here, we report a draft genome sequence of IC-1 to better understand its gene structures and gene regulatory mechanisms.

Draft Genome Sequence of the Aspergillus terreus High-Itaconic-Acid-Productivity Strain IFO6365.

Itaconic acid is an important organic acid used in the chemical industry. strain IFO6365 is one of the highest-yielding itaconic acid-producing wild-type strains. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of IFO6365, enhancing the understanding of the role and biosynthesis of itaconic acid in this fungus.
