Kodamaea ohmeri isolate:148 Genome sequencing and assembly

Kodamaea ohmeri is a symbiont (possibly by vertical transmission) of the honey bee pest, the small hive beetle. During infestation the yeast causes destruction of a bee hive by fermentation. This strain was isolated on Oct .16 2017 from the midgut of an adult honey bee from hive "148" at the USDA Beltsville, MD, USA campus. It was isolated on YPD media under aerobic conditions at 25C in the presence of penicillin-streptomycin. The yeast is also considered an emerging human pathogen, and considered for ethanol production.

Kodamaea ohmeri 为小巢甲虫（一种蜜蜂害虫）的共生体（可能通过垂直传播）。在侵染期间，该酵母通过发酵作用破坏蜂巢。该菌株于2017年10月16日从美国农业部位于马里兰州Beltsville的“148”号蜂巢成年蜜蜂的中肠中分离得到。在含有青霉素-链霉素的条件下，该菌株在25℃的需氧环境中于YPD培养基上被分离。此外，该酵母也被视为一种新兴的人体病原体，并考虑用于乙醇生产。
