Genome Sequence of Basidiomycetous Yeast Mrakia gelida MGH-2, Isolated from Skarvsnes Ice-Free Area, East Antarctica

Abstract

Basidiomycetous yeast Mrakia gelida MGH-2 has been reported from Surikogi Ike in the Skarvsnes ice-free area, East Antarctica. Here, we report on the high-quality genome sequence of the Mrakia gelida MGH-2 strain analyzed by PacBio Sequel and HiSeq 2500 instruments.

Draft genome sequence of the basidiomycetous yeast Mrakia hoshinonis JCM 32575 T isolated from Ellesmere Island, Canadian High Arctic

“…The type strain of Mrakia hoshinonis is deposited at the Japan Collection of Microorganisms, Riken, Japan, as JCM 32575. The yeast culture and DNA extraction methods followed those previously reported ( 3 – 5 ). Briefly, yeast cells were cultured in the yeast extract–peptone–dextrose liquid medium (Difco) at 15°C for 7 days.…”

Survey on Fungi in Antarctica and High Arctic Regions, and Their Impact on Climate Change

“…The initial draft genome sequence of Mrakia blollopis was the world's first Antarctic fungus to be reported [29]. Following this, the genome sequences of other Antarctic fungi, including Cystobasidium tubakii, C. ongulense, M. gelida, and several others, have been deposited in DNA databases such as NCBI/DDBJ/EMBL [30][31][32].…”
