The comparative genome analysis of 29 taxonomically and biotechnologically important yeasts, including 16 newly sequenced, enables correlation of genes to useful metabolic properties and showed the synteny of the mating-type locus to be conserved over a billion years of evolution.
Biodiversity and ecophysiology of yeasts
This chapter discusses Yeasts as Indicators of Environmental Quality, the biogeographic diversity of Cactophilic Yeasts, and methods for Investigating Yeast Biodiversity.

The results suggest that the endemic and cold- Adapted macroalgae of Antarctica shelter a rich, diversity and complex fungal communities consisting of a few dominant indigenous or mesophilic cold-adapted species, and a large number of rare and/or endemic taxa, which may provide an interesting model of algal–fungal interactions under extreme conditions as well as a potential source of bioactive compounds.

One translocation, found in 6 different isolates, including the type strain, has a geographically widespread distribution and a unique haplotype and may be a marker of an incipient speciation event and all of the other translocations are unique.

This work is the first report on fungal endophytes associated with leaves of the Antarctic grass D. antarctica, and shows low identity in the ITS sequences to sequences of fungal species deposited in GenBank, suggesting that these fungi could be new species.
Endophytic fungi community associated with the dicotyledonous plant Colobanthus quitensis (Kunth) Bartl. (Caryophyllaceae) in Antarctica.

- 1 July 2010
The results obtained in this work show that C. quitensis is an interesting reservoir of saprobic and pathogenic fungal species, and could be a community model for further ecological and evolutionary studies, as well as studies of the adaptation mechanisms these microorganisms have to the extreme conditions in Antarctica.
