ABSTRACT

Basidiomycetous red yeast Rhodotorula sp. is prevalent and abundant in the open ocean. This study reports the draft genomes of the Rhodotorula sp. strains HGY1 and HGY2. The strains are capable of producing carotenoids, such as β-carotene, and are regarded as potential hosts for biorefinery.
