New field surveys in China's Guizhou and Hainan provinces uncovered two #newspecies of basidiomycetous #yeasts (genus) Sugitazyma on plant leaves: 𝘚. 𝘱𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘢𝘦 and 𝘚. 𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘴.

Prior to this study, there was only one known species in the entire genus: doi.org/10.3897/myco...

Figure 2 Gouka (2026): Phylogenetic tree and inter-and intra-species variation of 96 wheat phyllosphere yeasts. (A) Maximum likelihood phylogeny based on 758 BUSCO single-copy genes of the whole yeast genomes. Genome statistics are shown for BUSCO, genome size (in Mb; orange), and GC content (in %; purple). Color stripes highlight low to higher values, ranging from light to dark color codes. (B) Heatmap of clustered log-transformed orthogroup gene counts. Yeast genera color coded based on taxonomy follows the same order as presented in the taxonomy legend. Stacked bar plot (right) indicates the number of orthogroups with gene counts.

And then, if you look carefully, the behavior of #bacteria and #yeasts when faced with #cold or #heat is very similar to that of #humans.

Right?

Two new species of #epiphytic #yeasts associated with #plants of the genus 𝘗𝘢𝘱𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘰𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘢 have been described in China: 𝘗𝘢𝘱𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘰𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘢 𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘦 and 𝘗. 𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘴𝘢𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘢𝘦.

Non-Saccharomyces Yeasts Cut Pesticide Residues by Up to 53 Percent in Wine Fermentation Study Research finds most wine yeasts efficiently remove copper, but pesticide detoxification varies widely, offering new hope for cleaner wines.

Is There Truly Hidden Diversity Among Environmental Yeasts—and Can In Situ Cultivation Help Reveal It? Yeasts, as unicellular fungi spanning Ascomycota and Basidiomycota, inhabit diverse ecosystems and drive essential processes like nutrient cycling, fermentation, symbiosis, and pathogenesis. Despite t...
