Biogeography of the yeasts of ephemeral flowers and their insects.

We studied specific yeast communities vectored by beetles, drosophilids, and bees that visit ephemeral flowers, mostly in the genus Hibiscus and in the families Convolvulaceae and Cactaceae, in the…

Comparative genomics of biotechnologically important yeasts

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.

Screening of Brazilian basidiomycetes for antimicrobial activity.

Differences in the bioactivity of extracts obtained from isolates from the same species were observed and two extracts presented wide antimicrobial spectrum and were active against both fungi and bacteria.

Diversity and bioprospecting of fungal communities associated with endemic and cold-adapted macroalgae in Antarctica

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.

Spathaspora arborariae sp. nov., a d-xylose-fermenting yeast species isolated from rotting wood in Brazil.

Four strains of a new yeast species were isolated from rotting wood from two sites in an Atlantic Rain Forest and a Cerrado ecosystem in Brazil. The analysis of the sequences of the D1/D2 domains of…

A Geographically Diverse Collection of Schizosaccharomyces pombe Isolates Shows Limited Phenotypic Variation but Extensive Karyotypic Diversity

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.

Endophytic fungi associated with the Antarctic grass Deschampsia antarctica Desv. (Poaceae)

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.

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.
