Significance The highly diverse Ascomycete yeasts have enormous biotechnological potential. Collectively, these convert a broad range of substrates into useful compounds, such as ethanol, lipids, and vitamins, can grow in extremes temperature, salinity, pH. We compared 29 yeast genomes with the goal correlating genetics to traits. In one rare species, we discovered genetic code that translates CUG codons alanine rather than canonical leucine. Genome comparison enabled correlation genes...
The conversion of lignocellulose into fermentable sugars is considered a promising alternative for increasing ethanol production. Higher fermentation yield has been achieved through the process simultaneous saccharification and (SSF). In this study, comparison was performed between yeast species Saccharomyces cerevisiae Kluyveromyces marxianus their potential use in SSF process. Three strains S. were evaluated: two are widely used Brazilian industry (CAT-1 PE-2), one isolated based on its...
Three novel D-xylose-fermenting yeast species of Spathaspora clade were recovered from rotting wood in regions the Atlantic Rainforest ecosystem Brazil. Differentiation new was based on analyses gene encoding D1/D2 sequences large subunit rRNA and 642 conserved, single-copy, orthologous genes genome sequence assemblies newly described 15 closely-related Debaryomycetaceae/Metschnikowiaceae species. girioi sp. nov. produced unconjugated asci with a single elongated ascospore curved ends;...
Five ascosporogenous yeast strains related to the genus Kazachstania were isolated. Two (CLIB 1764T and CLIB 1780) isolated from French sourdoughs; three others (UFMG-CM-Y273T, UFMG-CM-Y451 UFMG-CM-Y452) rotting wood in Brazil. The sequences of Brazilian differed by one substitutions, respectively, D1/D2 large subunit (LSU) rRNA gene internal transcribed spacer (ITS). LSU sequence these 0.5 0.7 % exigua, but their ITS diverged 8.1 8.3 %, that closest described species barnettii. Analysis...
Nine strains of a novel yeast species were isolated from rotting wood, tree bark, ant nests or living as endophytes in leaves Vellozia gigantea. Analysis the sequences internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region and D1/D2 domains large subunit rRNA gene showed that this was related to Candida insectorum Yamadazyma clade. The differed closely by 10 11 substitutions ITS gene, respectively. is heterothallic forms asci with one two hat-shaped ascospores. name riverae sp. nov. proposed for species....
Abstract Four yeast isolates were obtained from rotting wood and galleries of passalid beetles collected in different sites the Brazilian Amazonian Rainforest Brazil. This produces unconjugated allantoid asci each with a single elongated ascospore curved ends. Sequence analysis internal transcribed spacer‐5.8 S region D1/D2 domains large subunit ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene showed that represent novel species genus Spathaspora . The is phylogenetically related to subclade containing arborariae...
Five strains of a novel yeast species were isolated from rotting wood samples collected in an Amazonian forest site the state Roraima, northern Brazil. The sequences D1/D2 domains large subunit rRNA gene showed that this belongs to Scheffersomyces clade and is related Candida coipomoensis, lignicola queiroziae. amazonensis sp. nov. proposed accommodate these isolates. type strain C. UFMG-HMD-26.3(T) ( = CBS 12363(T) NRRL Y-48762(T)).
Four isolates of Spathaspora species were recovered from rotting wood collected in two Brazilian Amazonian biomes. The produced unconjugated allantoid asci with a single elongated ascospore curved ends. Sequence analysis the ITS-5.8S region and D1/D2 domains large subunit rRNA gene showed that represent different novel species, phylogenetically related to Sp. boniae. Two obtained sites forest state Pará. name brunopereirae sp. nov. is proposed accommodate these isolates. holotype CBS 16119T...
Nineteen isolates representing a candidate for novel yeast species belonging to the genus Spencermartinsiella were recovered from rotting wood samples collected at different sites in Atlantic Rainforest and Amazonian Forest ecosystems Brazil. Similarity search of nucleotide sequence intergenic spacer (ITS)-5.8S large subunit D1/D2 regions ribosomal gene cluster showed that this is closely related cellulosicola . The differ by four substitutions domain six 31 indels ITS region holotype S....
Two isolates representing a new species of Scheffersomyces were isolated from rotting wood samples collected in an Amazonian forest ecosystem Brazil. Analysis the sequences D1/D2 domains showed that this is phylogenetically related to NYMU 15730, without formal description, and two are early emerging position with respect xylose-fermenting subclade containing titanus stipitis. Phylogenomic analyses using 474 orthologous genes placed intermediary between larger genus Spathaspora Candida...
Two yeast strains, DMKU-WBBC14 and UFMG-CM-Y3283, were isolated from soil in Samutprakarn province the central part of Thailand rotting wood an Amazonian forest site Roraima State Brazil, respectively. The two strains showed identical sequences D1/D2 domain large subunit (LSU) rRNA gene different by three nucleotide substitutions internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region. Therefore, these represented a single species which was most closely related to Cyberlindnera mengyuniae CBS 10845T....
