Abstract

Here, we report draft genome sequences of the halotolerant and allodiploid strains Zygosaccharomyces rouxii ATCC 42981 and Zygosaccharomyces sapae ABT301^T. Illumina and Oxford Nanopore MinION sequencing revealed genome sizes of 20.9 and 24.7 Mb, respectively. This information will be useful for deciphering the genetics of hybrid adaptation to high salt and sugar concentrations in nonconventional yeasts.
