This copy of the genome of Kluyveromyces lactis
strain CLIB210 was obtained from Génolevures
[Release Version: 2012/02/09]. Génolevures is a large-scale
comparative genomics project between Saccharomyces
cerevisiae and other yeast species representative of the
various branches of the Hemiascomycetous class and provides
annotated sequence data and classifications for the genomes of
eighteen species of hemiascomycete yeasts.
In order to allow comparative analyses with other fungal genomes
sequenced by the Joint Genome Institute, a copy of this genome is
incorporated into MycoCosm.
Description:
Kluyveromyces lactis (formerly Saccharomyces
lactis) is a heterothallic species with a predominantly
haplontic cycle (anamorph: Candida sphaerica). While many
strains were originally isolated from milk-derived products and its
name is derived from its ability to assimilate lactose and convert
it into lactic acid, the natural habitat of K. lactis is
diverse. K. lactis has become attractive to science and
biotechnology owing to distinct metabolic and physiological
properties.
