The genome sequence and gene prediction of Pseudozyma antarctica were not determined by the JGI, but were downloaded from NCBI and have been published (Tomotake Morita et al., 2014). Please note that this copy of the genome is not maintained by the author and is therefore not automatically updated.
The basidiomycetous yeast Pseudozyma antarctica T-34 is an excellent producer of mannosylerythritol lipids (MELs), members of the multifunctional extracellular glycolipids, from various feedstocks. Analysis of the sequence might provide insights into the properties of this yeast that make it superior for use in the production of functional glycolipids, leading to the further development of P. antarctica for industrial applications.
