We report the draft genome sequence of the yeast strain Hormonema macrosporum POB-4, capable of producing the biosurfactant glycocholic acid, one of the bile acids. A majority of genes with known function were associated with metabolism and transport of amino acid and carbohydrate as well as secondary metabolites biosynthesis, transport, and catabolism. We observed genes of eleven C-N hydrolases and two CoA transferases which have been reported to be involved in the biosynthesis of glycocholic acid. Further experimental studies can help to elucidate the specific genes responsible for biosurfactant production in strain POB-4.
