Draft Genome Sequence of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Strain Hm-1, Isolated from Cotton Rosemallow.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain Hm-1 is a yeast isolated from the flower of cotton rosemallow. This yeast is used for the production of Seishu, a traditional Japanese refined sake. Here, we report the strain's draft genome sequence. With this genomic information, the brewing characteristics of the strain can be better understood.

Draft Genome Sequence of Trebouxiophyceae sp. Strain KSI-1, Isolated from an Island Hot Spring.

Trebouxiophyceae sp. KSI-1 is a green alga isolated from a seashore hot spring on Satsuma Iojima in Kagoshima, Japan, and is highly tolerant to oxidative stress. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of this strain, thereby providing an insight into the genetic basis for its oxidative stress tolerance.
