TL;DR
This paper presents seven new draft genomes of Kluyveromyces marxianus from South Africa, expanding our understanding of its genetic diversity beyond dairy-related uses.
Contribution
The study provides new genomic data for K. marxianus strains from non-dairy environments in South Africa.
Findings
Seven draft genomes of K. marxianus were sequenced from South African isolates.
The genomes expand the known genetic diversity of this yeast species.
The study highlights the potential of K. marxianus for industrial biotechnology beyond dairy.
Abstract
Despite its recognized potential for industrial biotechnology and lactose-based fermentations, the genomic diversity of the yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus remains underexplored, especially in non-dairy contexts. Here, we report the draft genomes of seven strains isolated from South Africa, expanding the known genetic diversity of this versatile species.
