Abstract

Pseudohyphozyma bogoriensis is gaining attention as a microbial source of high-value sophorolipids. We report here on its genomic sequence, which will improve our understanding of its metabolic pathways and allow the development of genome manipulation systems. PacBio sequencing was performed, yielding a 26-Mbp genome with 57% GC content and encoding 7,847 predicted proteins.
