Abstract

In this study, a draft genome sequence of Zygosaccharomyces siamensis kiy1 isolated from unpasteurized honey in Japan was analyzed. This strain was reported to be a promising arabitol-producing strain, and this report contributes to a better understanding of arabitol production in yeasts.

Keywords: Zygosaccharomyces siamensis; arabitol; honey; sugar alcohol.
