Abstract

Here, we report draft genome sequence of oleaginous yeast strain Saitozyma sp. JCM 24511, which is phylogenetically closely related to Saitozyma podzolica These data will have implications not only for the study of the oleaginous activities of yeasts but also for the study of the plant-microorganism microbiome.
