Draft Genome Sequences of Two Natural Isolates of the Yeast Barnettozyma californica from Ireland, UCD09 and UCD89.

No genome sequence of a species from Barnettozyma, a yeast genus in the family Phaffomycetaceae, is currently available. We isolated two B. californica strains from soils in Ireland and generated draft sequences of their 11.7-Mb genomes. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analysis showed 20,490 differences between the strains and suggests that B. californica is haploid.
