Draft Genome Sequence of Metschnikowia australis Strain UFMG-CM-Y6158, an Extremophile Marine Yeast Endemic to Antarctica

Here we report the draft genome sequence of Metschnikowia australis strain UFMG-CM-Y6158, a yeast endemic to Antarctica. We isolated the strain from the marine seaweed Acrosiphonia arcta (Chlorophyta). The genome is 14.3 Mb long and contains 4,442 predicted protein-coding genes.
