Rhodotorula graminis, is a heterothallic pigmented yeast species and phylogenetically closely related to R. glutinis and R. babjevae in the Sporidiobolus clade. It occurs in different ecological niches, even in sub-arctic marine environments, but is most commonly associated with plants. The fungus synthesizes the three major carotenoids: b-carotene, torulene and torularhodin. This ability to produce carotenoids provides a potential for industrial applications as an alternative natural source of the vitamin A precursor.

The Rhodotorula graminis genome is approximately 20 Mb.
