We present the annotated draft genome sequences of five fungal strains isolated from kefir grains. These isolates included three ascomycetous ( Candida californica , Kazachstania exigua , and Kazachstania unispora ) and one basidiomycetous ( Rhodotorula mucilaginosa ) species. The results revealed a detailed overview of the metabolic features of kefir fungi that will be potentially useful in biotechnological applications.
