Some of them encode killer toxins. The aim of this work was to investigate the prevalence of such elements in D. hansenii killer yeast deposited in culture collections as well as in strains freshly isolated from blue cheeses. Possible benefits to the host from harboring such VLEs were analyzed. VLEs occurred frequently among fresh D. hansenii isolates (15/60 strains), as opposed to strains obtained from culture collections (0/75 strains). Eight new different systems were identified: four composed of two elements and four of three elements. Full sequences of three new VLE systems obtained by NGS revealed extremely high conservation Citation: Połomska, X.; Neuvéglise, among the largest molecules in these systems except for one ORF, probably encoding a protein C.; Zyzak, J.; Zarowska,˙ B.; resembling immunity determinant to killer toxins of VLE origin in other yeast species.

    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-021-25308-w OPEN Phylogenomics of a new fungal phylum reveals multiple waves of reductive evolution across Holomycota ✉ ✉ Luis Javier Galindo 1 , Purificación López-García 1, Guifré Torruella1, Sergey Karpov2,3 & David Moreira 1 Compared to multicellular fungi and unicellular yeasts, unicellular fungi with free-living fla- gellated stages (zoospores) remain poorly known and their phylogenetic position is often 1234567890():,; unresolved. Recently, rRNA gene phylogenetic analyses of two atypical parasitic fungi with amoeboid zoospores and long kinetosomes, the sanchytrids Amoeboradix gromovi and San- chytrium tribonematis, showed that they formed a monophyletic group without close affinity with known fungal clades. Here, we sequence single-cell genomes for both species to assess their phylogenetic position and evolution. Phylogenomic analyses using different protein datasets and a comprehensive taxon sampling result in an almost fully-resolved fungal tree, with Chytridiomycota as sister to all other fungi, and sanchytrids forming a well-supported, fast-evolving clade sister to Blastocladiomycota. Comparative genomic analyses across fungi and their allies (Holomycota) reveal an atypically reduced metabolic repertoire for sanchy- trids. We infer three main independent flagellum losses from the distribution of over 60 flagellum-specific proteins across Holomycota. Based on sanchytrids’ phylogenetic position and unique traits, we propose the designation of a novel phylum, Sanchytriomycota. In addition, our results indicate that most of the hyphal morphogenesis gene repertoire of multicellular fungi had already evolved in early holomycotan lineages. 1 Ecologie Systématique Evolution, CNRS, Université Paris-Saclay, AgroParisTech, Orsay, France. 2 Zoological Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences, St. ✉ Petersburg, Russia. 3 St.

Abstract: We investigated the effects of trichostatin A (TSA) on gene expression and nucleosome position in the archiascomycetous yeast Saitoella complicata. The expression levels of 154 genes increased in a TSA-concentration-dependent manner, while the levels of 131 genes decreased. Conserved genes between S. complicata and Schizosaccharomyces pombe were more commonly TSA-concentration-dependent downregulated genes than upregulated genes. We calculated the correlation coefficients of nucleosome position profiles within 300 nucleotides (nt) upstream of a translational start of S. complicata grown in the absence and the presence of TSA (3 μg/mL). We found that 20 (13.0%) of the 154 TSA-concentration-dependent upregulated genes and 22 (16.8%) of the 131 downregulated genes had different profiles (r < 0.4) between TSA-free and TSA-treated.

This ability of the vast majority of yeasts has long been neglected since the standardization of the methodology around 1950, wherein fructose was excluded from the standard set of physiological properties for characterizing yeast species, despite the ubiquitous presence of fructose in the natural environment. In this study, we examined 388 strains of yeast, mainly belonging to the Saccharomycetes (Saccharomycotina, Ascomycota), to determine whether they can assimilate/ferment D-fructose. Conventional methods, using liquid medium containing Citation: Endoh, R.; Horiyama, M.; yeast nitrogen base +0.5% (w/v) of D-fructose solution for assimilation and yeast extract-peptone Ohkuma, M. D-Fructose Assimilation +2% (w/v) fructose solution with an inverted Durham tube for fermentation, were used. All strains and Fermentation by Yeasts examined (n = 388, 100%) assimilated D-fructose, whereas 302 (77.8%) of them fermented D-fructose. Belonging to Saccharomycetes: D D Rediscovery of Universal Phenotypes In addition, almost all strains capable of fermenting -glucose could also ferment -fructose. These and Elucidation of Fructophilic results strongly suggest that the ability to assimilate/ferment D-fructose is a universal phenotype Behaviors in Ambrosiozyma platypodis among yeasts in the Saccharomycetes.

  • Variety of Proline-Specific Peptidases in Higher Fungi
    Variety of proline-specific peptidases in higher fungi N.A. Alkin1, Y.E. Dunaevsky2, M.A.Belozersky2, G.A.Belyakova1, V.F. Tereshchenkova3, I.Y.Filippova3, E.N. Elpidina2 1Department of Mycology and Algology, Faculty of Biology, Moscow State University, Moscow, Russia. [email protected] ; 2Department of Plant Proteins, A.N.Belozersky Institute of Physico-Chemical Biology, Moscow State University, Moscow, Russia. [email protected], 3Division of Natural Compounds, Chemical Faculty, Moscow State University, Moscow, Russia. Introduction. Proline has a unique secondary amino group among other proteinogenic amino acids. This group provides resistance of peptide bonds formed by proline residues to peptidases with broad substrate specificity. To hydrolyze such bonds proline-specific peptidases (PSP) are used by the variety of living organisms. The most common roles of PSP are digestion of proline- rich proteins (for instance, wheat gliadins), processing and degradation of short bioactive peptides. Although PSP are found in all three domains of life, still the information about the distribution and variety of these enzymes among fungal species stays rather limited. Furthermore, fungal PSP are valuable for dairy and beer industry as it was demonstrated that proline-rich peptides including those of milk and barley may contribute a bitter taste to these food products [1]. The objective of this research is a search for genes of PSP in genomes of different species of dikaryotic fungi (Ascomycota and Basidiomycota) and subsequent analysis of predicted PSP sequences. Materials and methods. The search of sequenced and annotated fungal genomes was accomplished in NCBI public database (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/).

  • Fungal Communities in Woodpecker Cavities at Pringle
    Fungal communities in woodpecker cavities at Pringle Falls Experimental Forest: Preliminary results from post-treatment woodpecker surveys and fungal sequencing on Lookout Mountain. December 18, 2017 Dan ReiffDan Report by Teresa J. Lorenz Sequencing by Michelle A. Jusino Pringle Falls Experimental Forest (PFEF) was established in 1931 as a natural laboratory for research on ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) management and silvics in the eastern Oregon Cascades. Between 2011 and 2015, thinning and prescribed burning treatments were conducted on Lookout Mountain at PFEF for a project entitled Forest dynamics after thinning and fuel reduction in dry forests. The larger goals of this project were to evaluate the short- and long-term effects of thinning and fuel reduction treatments on forest vegetation (Youngblood 2009). To evaluate treatment effects on wildlife Saab and Lehmkuhl (2011) established surveys to measure cavity excavating birds pre- and post-treatment. Surveys focused on white-headed woodpecker (Leuconotopicus albolarvatus), which is a species of concern in dry forests of the northwestern U.S. Pre-treatment surveys were conducted on Lookout Mountain in spring 2011. Only six woodpecker nests were documented in the pre-treatment area and no white-headed woodpecker nests were found within the area to be treated. Thus, a decision was made that post-treatment monitoring on Lookout Mountain should focus on new research questions, if possible. Ideally, monitoring of cavity excavators post-treatment would explore questions of management interest that could be meaningfully examined within a small geographic area. Currently, biologists lack information on fungi that cause wood decay for woodpecker cavity excavation in western North America.
