The Ascomycota yeast Aureobasidium melanogenum strain W12 was isolated from an aircraft polymer-coated surface. The genome size is 53,160,883 bp with a G + C content of 50.13%. The genome contains fatty acid transporters, cutinases, hydroxylases, and lipases potentially used for survival on polymer coatings on aircraft.
