Draft Genome Sequence of the Yeast Starmerella bombicola NBRC10243, a Producer of Sophorolipids, Glycolipid Biosurfactants
ABSTRACT
The yeast Starmerella bombicola NBRC10243 is an excellent producer of sophorolipids (SLs) from various feedstocks. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of S. bombicola NBRC10243. Analysis of the sequence may provide insight into the properties of this yeast that make it superior for use in the production of functional glycolipids and biomolecules, leading to the further development of S. bombicola NBRC10243 for industrial applications.
