Cystobasidium ongulense has been reported from East Ongul Island near Syowa Station, East Antarctica, as a new basidiomycetous yeast species. This species has cold active lipases and cellulases that are active even at subzero temperatures. We report draft genome sequences of five Cystobasidium ongul...
