Summary: A new yeast species belonging to the basidiomycetous yeast genus Cystofilobasidium was isolated from a marine sediment sample in Shandong province, China. Phylogenetic analysis based on gene sequences showed that this strain represents a novel species, named Cystofilobasidium josepaulonis sp. nov. This species differs from known species in the genus in terms of DNA sequence mismatches and teliospore germination behavior.

Summary: A novel bacterium belonging to the genus Solitalea was isolated from a sediment sample in the Republic of Korea. It is Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, motile by gliding, and has a creamy white-pigmented appearance. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that it is closely related to Solitalea longa HR-AVT, Solitalea canadensis DSM 3403T, and Solitalea koreensis R2A36-4T.

Summary: Through yeast isolation and meta-barcoding analysis, we found that there are various basidiomycetous yeasts, not just Microsporomyces species, associated with Cladonia rei lichen in Japan. The most frequently detected species belong to the Septobasidium genus, which is associated with scale insects, and Halobasidium xiangyangense is a potential generalist epiphytic fungus that can associate with C. rei lichen.

Summary: A new species of yeast, Phaffia brasiliana sp. nov., was discovered in a Cerrado-Atlantic Rain Forest ecotone site in Brazil, marking a unique occurrence for the genus in a tropical region. The novel taxon appears to have adapted to grow or withstand higher temperatures compared to other species in the genus.

Summary: This study explores the population structure and genome variation of T. delbrueckii, finding that it is composed of five major clades, with one clade associated with wine fermentation and another with diverse anthropic environments. Comparisons with S. cerevisiae reveal that T. delbrueckii has a smaller variable genome proportion. An association between gene content and ecology supports the hypothesis that the Mix-Anthropic clade has the most specialized genome, with genes implicated in galactose and maltose utilization. Further analyses identify gene clusters associated with dairy products and expanded and functionally diversified genes in strains isolated from bread dough. The study expands our understanding of microbe domestication and adaptation to anthropic niches.

Summary: Certain lineages of Saccharomyces cerevisiae have diastatic activity due to the presence of the chimeric gene STA1. Diastatic yeasts can cause beer contamination and off-flavors. By analyzing contaminations in a craft brewery, it was found that diastatic yeasts in beer are mainly from environmental strains and have possible origins in natural settings.

Summary: The accurate application of fungal names is crucial for scientific communication, clinical diagnostics, and regulatory compliance. Maintaining the stability of the taxonomic system and ensuring the traceability of nomenclatural changes are key for a broad range of users and taxonomists. Proper preservation of nomenclatural history and physical organisms representing names is essential to assure the unambiguous application of names.
