Genome sequences of two isolates of the yeast Candida zeylanoides: UCD849 from soil in Ireland, and AWD from an African wild dog.

We report genome sequences of two new isolates of the budding yeast Candida zeylanoides. Strain UCD849 from soil in Ireland was assembled into eight complete chromosomes. Strain AWD from an African Wild Dog in a US zoo was sequenced to draft level. The assemblies are 10.6 Mb and 99.57% identical.

Draft Genome Sequences of Two Isolates of the Yeast Kazachstania servazzii Recovered from Soil in Ireland.

We sequenced two isolates of Kazachstania servazzii, UCD13 and UCD335, from soil in Ireland. Heterozygosity in these diploid genomes differs 19-fold between the two strains. Most currently available K. servazzii genome sequences come from Korean kimchi isolates, so our data will facilitate analysis of diversity in this species.
