Complete Genome Sequence of the Biocontrol Yeast Papiliotrema terrestris Strain LS28.

Papiliotrema terrestris strain LS28 is a biocontrol agent (BCA) selected for its antagonistic activity against several plant pathogens both in the field and postharvest. The availability of a genome sequencing sets the foundation for the identification of the genetic mechanisms of its antagonistic activity. The genome size is 21.29 Mbp with a G + C content of 58.65%, and genome annotation predicts 8,626 protein-encoding genes. Phylogenetic analysis based on whole genome data confirms that P. terrestris is a Tremellomycetes more closely related to P. flavescens than P. laurentii.
