Abstract The field of mycology has grown from an underappreciated subset botany, to a valuable, modern scientific discipline. As this study grown, there have been significant contributions science, technology, and industry, highlighting the value fungi in era.

Trends in yeast diversity discovery

Fungal Diversity, Год журнала: 2021, Номер 114(1), С. 491 - 537

Опубликована: Дек. 3, 2021

Abstract Yeasts, usually defined as unicellular fungi, occur in various fungal lineages. Hence, they are not a taxonomic unit, but rather represent lifestyle shared by several unrelated Although the discovery of new yeast species occurs at an increasing speed, current rate it will likely take hundreds years, if ever, before all be documented. Many parts earth, including many threatened habitats, remain unsampled for yeasts and others only superficially studied. Cold such glaciers, home to specific community cold-adapted yeasts, and, hence, there is some urgency study environments locations where might disappear soon due anthropogenic climate change. The same true communities natural forests that impacted deforestation forest conversion. countries so-called Global South have been sampled despite their economic promise. However, extensive research activity Asia, especially China, has yielded novelties. Comparative genomics studies demonstrated presence with hybrid origin, them isolated from clinical or industrial environments. DNA-metabarcoding prevalence, cases dominance, soils marine waters worldwide, surprising distributions, unexpected common Malassezia habitats.

Ten decadal advances in fungal biology leading towards human well-being

Fungal Diversity, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 116(1), С. 547 - 614

Опубликована: Сен. 1, 2022

Fungi are an understudied resource possessing huge potential for developing products that can greatly improve human well-being. In the current paper, we highlight some important discoveries and developments in applied mycology interdisciplinary Life Science research. These examples concern recently introduced drugs treatment of infections neurological diseases; application -OMICS techniques genetic tools medical regulation mycotoxin production; as well highlights mushroom cultivaton Asia. Examples new diagnostic exploitation candidates therapeutic drugs, also given. addition, two entries illustrating latest use fungi biodegradation fungal biomaterial production provided. Some other areas where there have been and/or will be significant included. It is our hope this paper help realise importance a industrial see next decades bring forward many fungus-derived products.

Yeasts from temperate forests

Yeast, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 39(1-2), С. 4 - 24

Опубликована: Янв. 1, 2022

Yeasts are ubiquitous in temperate forests. While this broad habitat is well-defined, the yeasts inhabiting it and their life cycles, niches, contributions to ecosystem functioning less understood. present on nearly all sampled substrates forests worldwide. They associate with soils, macroorganisms, other habitats no doubt contribute broader ecosystem-wide processes. Researchers have gathered information leading hypotheses about yeasts' niches cycles based physiological observations laboratory as well genomic analyses, but challenge remains test these themselves. Here, we summarize global patterns of yeast diversity, give some a handful well-studied forest genera, discuss various strategies isolate yeasts, explain biotechnology. We close summary many future directions outstanding questions facing researchers ecology. an exciting opportunity better understand hidden world microbial ecology threatened habitat.

Macroevolutionary diversity of traits and genomes in the model yeast genus Saccharomyces

Nature Communications, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 14(1)

Опубликована: Фев. 8, 2023

Abstract Species is the fundamental unit to quantify biodiversity. In recent years, model yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has seen an increased number of studies related its geographical distribution, population structure, and phenotypic diversity. However, seven additional species from same genus have been less thoroughly studied, which limited our understanding macroevolutionary events leading diversification this over last 20 million years. Here, we show geographies, hosts, substrates, phylogenetic relationships for approximately 1,800 strains, covering complete with unprecedented breadth depth. We generated analyzed genome sequences 163 strains phenotyped 128 phylogenetically diverse strains. This dataset provides insights about genetic diversity within between populations, quantifies reticulation incomplete lineage sorting, demonstrates how gene flow selection affected traits, such as galactose metabolism. These findings elevate a understand biodiversity evolution in microbial eukaryotes.
