In the framework of initiatives, aiming at a better definition of biodiversity in microorganisms and of its role in ecosystem function, the biology of yeasts is revisited with particular emphasis on their ecology and classification. The limited number of different species isolated from, as well as the exceedingly low yeast cell counts in, most natural environments are discussed and possible explanations presented. The impact of the use of molecular taxonomic techniques of classification on the…

Biodiversity amongst filamentous fungi

TLDR
Two dominating symbiotic systems have evolved convergently in various fungal groups, notably lichens and mycorrhizas, both remarkably diverse in their heterotrophic partners.

RESTRICTION PROFILES OF 26S rDNA AS A MOLECULAR APPROACH FOR WINE YEASTS IDENTIFICATION

TLDR
A database comprising the majority of wine yeast biota was created to be applied both at research and industrial environment to provide a better control of wine quality.

Yeasts diversity in Brazilian Cerrado soils: Study of the enzymatic activities

TLDR
This study is the first to describe yeasts isolated from Brazilian Cerrado soils from Minas Gerais State and demonstrates their ability to produce enzymes that may be of potential industrial interest.

Oleaginous yeasts from Ethiopia

TLDR
Three oleaginous yeast strains PY39, SY89 and SY18 were selected and recommended for further optimization processes for biodiesel production in the future on the basis of their substantial lipid production abilities.

Isolation of yeast from soil and different food samples and its characterization based on fermentation

TLDR
The potential yeasts for ethanol production from pentose and hexose sugars were identified and characterized based on cell morphology and physiology and quantification of ethanol and cell concentration was performed throughout the fermentation.

A Metatranscriptomic Approach to the Identification of Microbiota Associated with the Ant Formica exsecta

Social insects live in cooperative colonies, often in high densities and with closely related individuals, and interact using social contact behaviours. Compared to solitary insects, social insects…

Isolation and Characterization of Palm Wine Strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Potentially Useful as Bakery Yeasts

TLDR
The studies indicate that Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains from palm wine samples from Kogi State have good properties for industrial usefulness in bakery operations.

SCREENING OF SOME YEAST ISOLATES FOR THEIR ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY

TLDR
Yeast isolates collected from different sources exhibited antibacterial activity against one or more of the eight indicator bacteria, and the isolate Eg-Y2 was very effective against Cl. tyrobutyricum which is considered as one of the most dangerous anaerobic pathogens.

Systematic investigation into the clonal variability of the non-conventional yeast Pichia pastoris

TLDR
This project presents the first systematic investigation into the clonal variability of *P.

Isolate code EAM 2 EAM 3 EAM 5 EAM 6 Name of organism Kluyveromyces marxianus Pichia caribbica Candida tropicalis Saccharomyces cerevisiae

TLDR
This present study showed that the yeast isolates have the potential to ferment both hexose and pentose sugars.

A new approach to the study of yeast ecology of natural substrates

TLDR
Results confirmed that a sequence of aggressive and disruptive actions on samples, together with an enrichment culture, is necessary to obtain an exhaustive picture of the actual yeast flora.

The yeasts; a taxonomic study

TLDR
This chapter discusses methods for the isolation, maintenance, classification and identification of yeasts, and the genera belonging to the ascosporogenous and basidiosporogenous yeasts.

Three newly delimited species of Saccharomyces sensu stricto

TLDR
Deoxyribonucleic acid reassociation studies of 24 different wine and beer-associated strains of Saccharomyces confirmed the presence of three separate species, with intermediate hybridization values between S. cerevisiae and S. bayanus, which could possibly be a natural hybrid of the two species.

New concepts of kingdoms of organisms

TLDR
My purpose in this article is to discuss the merits of two classifications which depart from the traditional two kingdoms, the systems of Copeland (1-3) and Whittaker (4, 5).

Deoxyribonucleic acid relatedness among species of the genus Saccharomyces sensu stricto

TLDR
Data suggest S. carlsbergensis to be a partial amphidiploid which may have arisen from natural hybridization between S. cerevisiae and S. bayanus and has a genome size approximately 1.5 times those of the last two species.
