title: Genome sequence of Pichia kudriavzevii M12, a potential producer of bioethanol and phytase.
abstract: A draft genome sequence of Pichia kudriavzevii M12 is presented here. The genome reveals the presence of genes encoding enzymes involved in xylose utilization and the pentose phosphate pathway for bioethanol production. Strain M12 is also a potential producer of phytases, enzymes useful in food processing and agriculture.
