{Reference Type}: Journal Article {Title}: Genome sequence data of Saccharomyces cerevisiae CBS 493.94. {Author}: Nikodinoska I;Moran CA; {Journal}: Data Brief {Volume}: 55 {Issue}: 0 {Year}: 2024 Aug 暂无{DOI}: 10.1016/j.dib.2024.110557 {Abstract}: Whole genome sequencing (WGS) and data concerning identity and safety for Saccharomyces cerevisiae CBS 493.94 are reported. This strain was isolated from a British brewery in 1958 and deposited at the CBS culture collection Westerdijk Fungal Biodiversity Institute under the accession number CBS 493.94. The long-reads sequencing data, obtained via PacBio Sequel, and short-reads data, via Illumina NovaSeq 6000, were deposited at NCBI under accession number PRJNA1044661. The hybrid assembly was made publicly available via Zenodo and NCBI. For strain identification, data from 18S rRNA, ANI dendrogram and Core Genome single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) Tree showed that the present isolate belongs to the genus Saccharomyces, species cerevisiae. The potential genes of concern, e.g. antimycotic resestance genes, were not detected. This strain is commonly used as a feed additive for animal health improvement and the present data summarise the unambiguous identity and strain's FKS1 gene does not code for any amino acid variants of concern.
