Kluyveromyces marxianus strain:CCT 7735 (UFV-3) Genome sequencing. Kluyveromyces marxianus strain:CCT 7735 (UFV-3)

Kluyveromyces marxianus CCT 7735 (UFV-3), isolated from regional Brazilian dairy industry, was selected among other yeast isolates due to its high β-galactosidase activity, followed by high flux of lactose assimilation and ethanol production. Considering the little knowledge about the genetic and physiology of K. marxianus UFV-3, as well as its potential to be used as cell factory in the production biofuel, chemicals and recombinant proteins, we sequenced its genome in order to gain insights about their biochemical and genetic traits.
