Aureobasidium subglaciale genome sequencing and assembly of 15 environmental strains. Aureobasidium sp.

Aureobasidium subglaciale is a sister group of the cosmopolitan and biotechnologically important black yeast Aureobasidium pullulans. Unlike the latter species, only a few isolates of A. subglaciale have been found to date, almost all from cold environments. 15 environmental isolates were genome sequenced to investigate the population structure of the species and to facilitate future studies of this rarely found yeast.
