Clavispora lusitaniae is a member of the Saccharomycotina sequenced by Butler et al., 2014. It can be a human pathogen, and has developed resistance to Amphotericin-B, a common anti-fungal to treat fungal infections (Krcmery and Barnes, 2002). C. lusitaniae belongs to the CUG clade, which substitute serine for leucine at CUG codons. C. lusitaniae was imported into mycocosm for comparative purposes.
