Abstract

The strain Millerozyma farinosa KCTC27753, isolated from nuruk, is a multi-stress tolerant yeast which grows at 46 °C temperature and pH 3.0. This strain can withstand fermentation inhibitors, such as furfural and phenolic compounds released from biomass. Hence, this strain could be used for bioethanol production. The draft genome sequence of M. farinosa KCTC27753 was analyzed by PacBio RSII. The genome length is 21,255,474 bp and it consists of 17 contigs. The GC content of the genome is 41.1%. The genome analysis identified a total of 10,910 plausible gene-coding regions in this strain.
