ABSTRACT Considerable progress in our understanding of yeast genomes and their evolution has been made over the last decade with the sequencing, analysis, and comparisons of numerous species, strains, or isolates of diverse origins. The role played by yeasts in natural environments as well as in artificial manufactures, combined with the importance of some species as model experimental systems sustained this effort. At the same time, their enormous evolutionary diversity (there are yeast species in every subphylum of Dikarya) sparked curiosity but necessitated further efforts to obtain appropriate reference genomes. Today, yeast genomes have been very informative about basic mechanisms of evolution, speciation, hybridization, domestication, as well as about the molecular machineries underlying them. They are also irreplaceable to investigate in detail the complex relationship between genotypes and phenotypes with both theoretical and practical implications. This review examines these questions at two distinct levels offered by the broad evolutionary range of yeasts: inside the best-studied Saccharomyces species complex, and across the entire and diversified subphylum of Saccharomycotina. While obviously revealing evolutionary histories at different scales, data converge to a remarkably coherent picture in which one can estimate the relative importance of intrinsic genome dynamics, including gene birth and loss, vs.

Robnett Microbial Properties Research, National Center for Agricultural Utilization Research, Agricultural Research Ser- vice, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Peoria, Illinois 61604, USA (∗ author for correspondence) E-mail: [email protected] Received 19 June 1998; accepted 19 June 1998 Key words: Ascomycetous yeasts, phylogeny, ribosomal DNA, systematics Abstract Approximately 500 species of ascomycetous yeasts, including members of Candida and other anamorphic genera, were analyzed for extent of divergence in the variable D1/D2 domain of large subunit (26S) ribosomal DNA. Divergence in this domain is generally sufficient to resolve individual species, resulting in the prediction that 55 currently recognized taxa are synonyms of earlier described species. Phylogenetic relationships among the ascomycetous yeasts were analyzed from D1/D2 sequence divergence. For comparison, the phylogeny of selected members of the Saccharomyces clade was determined from 18S rDNA sequences. Species relationships were highly concordant between the D1/D2 and 18S trees when branches were statistically well supported.

Coleoptera, Curculionidae, pine engraver beetle, Scots pine, Ips acuminatus, pathogens, Ophiostoma, Diplodia pinea, insect-fungus interaction Abstract. Conifer bark beetles are well known to be associated with fungal complexes, which consist of pathogenic ophiostoma- toid fungi as well as obligate saprotroph species. However, there is little information on fungi associated with Ips acuminatus in central and eastern Europe. The aim of the study was to investigate the composition of the fungal communities associated with the pine engraver beetle, I. acuminatus, in the forest-steppe zone in Ukraine and to evaluate the pathogenicity of six associated ophiostomatoid species by inoculating three-year-old Scots pine seedlings with these fungi. In total, 384 adult beetles were col- lected from under the bark of declining and dead Scots pine trees at two different sites. Fungal culturing from 192 beetles resulted in 447 cultures and direct sequencing of ITS rRNA from 192 beetles in 496 high-quality sequences.

The predominant species found in the intestinal fungal communities mainly belong to the phyla Ascomycota and Basidiomycota. Fungal community structure varies with life stage. The genera Nakazawaea, Trichothecium, Aspergillus, Didymella, Villophora, and Auricularia are most prevalent in the larvae samples. Adults harbored high proportions of Graphium. The fungal community structures found in different sexes are similar. Fusarium is the most abundant genus and conserved in all development stages. Gut fungal communities showed notable variation in relative abundance during the overwintering stage. Fusarium and Nectriaceae were significantly increased in overwintering mature larvae. The data indicates that Fusarium might play important roles in the survival of T.

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.

  • Phylogeny of the Ascomycetous Yeasts and the Renaming of Pichia Anomala to Wickerhamomyces Anomalus
    Antonie van Leeuwenhoek (2011) 99:13–23 DOI 10.1007/s10482-010-9505-6 REVIEW PAPER Phylogeny of the ascomycetous yeasts and the renaming of Pichia anomala to Wickerhamomyces anomalus Cletus P. Kurtzman Received: 21 May 2010 / Accepted: 2 September 2010 / Published online: 14 September 2010 Ó U.S. Government 2010 Abstract In this review, the phylogeny of the placement in genera was dependent on phenotype, ascomycetous yeasts is discussed, with emphasis on i.e., cell morphology, ability to ferment sugars and the genus Pichia and its synonym Hansenula. The growth on various carbon and nitrogen compounds. It genus Pichia, as defined from phenotype, had nearly had been believed that characteristics such as asco- 100 assigned species, but the number of species has spore morphology or ability to utilize nitrate as a sole been reduced to 20 following phylogenetic circum- source of nitrogen predicted genetic relationships and scription on Pichia membranifaciens, the type species could serve as descriptors for defining genera. The of the genus. The remaining species of Pichia have use of nuclear DNA reassociation experiments intro- been reassigned to 20 different genera, many of which duced the first quantitative molecular biological are newly described, such as Wickerhamomyces. The technique to yeast classification, and comparisons of reason for reclassification of Pichia anomala in the DNA relatedness showed that glucose fermentation, genus Wickerhamomyces is discussed. nitrate assimilation and ascospore morphology can be variable among strains of a species (Price et al. 1978; Keywords Pichia anomala Á Wickerhamomyces Kurtzman 1984). Despite the great impact of DNA anomalus Á Biocontrol yeasts Á Phylogeny reassociation studies on yeast taxonomy, genetic resolution from this method extends no further than to closely related species.
