Draft genome sequence of the basidiomycetous yeast Rhodosporidiobolus colostri DBVPG 10655, a cold-adapted degrader of lignin-derived monoaromatic compounds

Key Points

• The aim is to present the draft genome sequence of Rhodosporidiobolus colostri and its lignin degradation potential.
• Isolated Rhodosporidiobolus colostri from Alpine forest soil
• Conducted genome sequencing to obtain the draft genome
• Identified cold-adapted basidiomycetous yeast species
• Demonstrated the yeast's ability to degrade lignin-derived monoaromatic compounds
