| Description | The fungus Candida tenuis has been isolated from numerous coniferous trees, cactus roots and the digestive tracts of many species of wood-boring beetles where it may have a symbiotic relationship with the insect. It is an important yeast species for research into biofuel production due to its rare ability to efficiently ferment and assimilate xylose, a major component of plant cell walls. The genome of Candida tenuis was sequenced in 2011 along with another xylose-fermenting yeast species Spathaspora passalidarum, in an effort to identify genes used for xylose metabolism for subsequent use in microbe engineering. The Candida tenuis genome was sequenced to 26.9 X coverage, generating 10.7 Mb representing eight chromosomes. |
