Genome Sequence of the Oleaginous Yeast Rhodotorula paludigena Strain CM33, a Potential Strain for Biofuel Production

Abstract

The genome sequence of <i>Rhodotorula paludigena</i> strain CM33, an oleaginous yeast isolated from castor bean (<i>Ricinus</i> sp.) in Thailand, is reported here. Genome sequencing and assembly yielded 20,657,327 bases with a 64.3% G+C content.
