Cracking the code of a coastal oil yeast: the genome of <i>Rhodotorula pacifica</i> INDKK
<i>Rhodotorula pacifica</i> INDKK, an oleaginous red yeast isolated from mangrove forest soil, efficiently metabolizes biomass hydrolysates and accumulates lipids of more than 60% of its dry weight. Hybrid <i>de novo</i> genome assembly (Illumina and Oxford Nanopore) produced 24 scaffolds comprising a 21.05 Mb nuclear and ~26 kb mitochondrial genome.
