چکیده
We report the de novo assembled 20.05-Mb draft genome of the red yeast Rhodosporidium toruloides MTCC 457, predicted to encode 5,993 proteins, 4 rRNAs, and 125 tRNAs. Proteins known to be unique to oleaginous fungi are present among the predicted proteins. The genome sequence will be valuable for molecular genetic analysis and manipulation of lipid accumulation in this yeast and for developing it as a potential host for biofuel production.

Genome sequence of the oleaginous yeast Rhodotorula toruloides strain CGMCC 2.1609
Most eukaryotic oleaginous species are yeasts and among them the basidiomycete red yeast, Rhodotorula (Rhodosporidium) toruloides (Pucciniomycotina) is known to produce high quantities of lipids when grown in nitrogen-limiting media, and has potential for biodiesel production. The genome of the CGMCC 2.1609 strain of this oleaginous red yeast was sequenced using a hybrid of Roche 454 and Illumi...

We report the sequencing of the basidiomycetous yeast Rhodosporidium toruloides CECT1137. The current assembly comprises 62 scaffolds, for a total size of ca. 20.45 Mbp and a G+C content of ca. 61.9%. The genome annotation predicts 8,206 putative protein-coding genes.
متن کاملThe Production, Regulation and Extraction of Carotenoids from Rhodosporidium toruloides
Carotenoids are valuable pigments of commercial interest for various health benefits. There is rising demand for natural carotenoids from microorganisms, although the majority of industrially produced carotenoids are currently chemically synthesized. Rhodosporidium toruloides is oleaginous red yeast, which can produce large amounts of carotenoids and lipids simultaneously. It is also able to as...
متن کاملFunctional genomics of lipid metabolism in the oleaginous yeast Rhodosporidium toruloides.
The basidiomycete yeast Rhodosporidium toruloides (a.k.a. Rhodotorula toruloides) accumulates high concentrations of lipids and carotenoids from diverse carbon sources. It has great potential as a model for the cellular biology of lipid droplets and for sustainable chemical production. We developed a method for high-throughput genetics (RB-TDNAseq), using sequence-barcoded Agrobacterium tumefac...
متن کاملCorrigendum: A multi-omic map of the lipid-producing yeast Rhodosporidium toruloides
Triacylglycerols are among the most attractive alternative raw materials for biofuel development. Current oil plant-based technologies are limited in terms of triacylglycerol production capacity and rate. These limitations may be circumvented by biotransformation of carbohydrates into lipids; however, our understanding of microbial oleaginicity remains limited. Here we present the results of a ...
