This copy of the genome of Yarrowia lipolytica strain CLIB122
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:
Yarrowia lipolytica is an atypical species of yeast in
the family Dipodascaceae and is routinely isolated from different
food media. It is used in industry for its ability to use unusual
carbon sources, such as hydrocarbons. One such application is the
production of citric acid from n-alkanes, vegetable oils or glucose
under aerobic conditions.
