Draft Genome Sequence of the Yeast Starmerella bacillaris (syn., Candida zemplinina ) FRI751 Isolated from Fermenting Must of Dried Raboso Grapes

Abstract

Starmerella bacillaris is an ascomycetous yeast commonly present in enological environments. Here, we report the first draft genome sequence of S. bacillaris FRI751, which will facilitate the study of the characteristics of this interesting enological yeast.

Draft Genome Sequence of the Starmerella bacillaris (syn., Candida zemplinina) Type Strain CBS 9494

“…A total of 5,698,579 reads (mean size of 200 bp) were used for de novo assembly with Newbler version 2.7 (454 Life Sciences), which resulted in 200 contigs longer than 200 bp (mean, 108,648 bp; maximum, 649,352 bp; N 50 , 175,910 bp). The genome of S. bacillaris type strain 9494 was 9.3 Mb with a G+C content of 39.4%, similar to the recently available genome data for S. bacillaris strains FRI751 ( 24 ) and PAS13 ( 25 ). The S. bacillaris type strain CBS 9494 genome sequence reported here will constitute a reference sequence for studying evolutionary and phylogenetic aspects, as well as the geographic biodiversity, of this genetically heterogeneous species ( 21 ).…”

Biocontrol activity of Starmerella bacillaris yeast against blue mold disease on apple fruit and its effect on cider fermentation

“…The yeast strains of S . bacillaris used in this work, namely PAS13, PAS 55, PAS66, PAS92, PAS103, PAS151, PAS173, FRI719, FRI728, FRI729, FRI751, FRI754, FRI779, FRI7100 [ 30 , 32 , 33 ] were isolated from fermenting must obtained from dried grapes, as described by Lemos Junior et al [ 30 ]. Saccharomyces cerevisiae EC1118 (Lallemand Italia, Castel D’Azzano, Italy) was used as control.…”

Whole-Genome Sequence of Starmerella bacillaris PAS13, a Nonconventional Enological Yeast with Antifungal Activity

“…GeneMark-ES software was used for predicting protein-coding sequences (CDSs) ( 10 ), and the results indicated the presence of 4,321 CDSs and 4,322 exons. According to Lemos Junior et al ( 11 ), two different approaches were used for gene annotation, namely, BlastKOALA ( 12 ) and RPS BLAST. The first approach used members of the Saccharomycetaceae family as the taxonomy group to generate a nonredundant set of KEGG genes.…”
