“…Representatives of the genus Rhodosporidiobolus have been isolated from various sources, including cold ecosystems [ 31 , 32 ], apple and pear surfaces [ 33 ], apple pulps [ 34 ], grapes [ 35 ], marine ecosystems associated with invertebrates such as sponges [ 36 ] and corals [ 37 ], and waste deposit of a leaf-cutting ant [ 38 ]. The frequent association of members of the genus Rhodosporidiobolus with plant structures points to their ability to utilize lignin-derived compounds.…”

The contribution of cold-adapted yeasts to the emerging field of lignin biovalorization has not yet been studied. The red-pigmented basidiomycetous yeast strain Rhodosporidiobolus colostri DBVPG 10655 was examined for its potential to degrade five selected lignin-derived aromatic monomers (syringic acid, p-coumaric acid, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, ferulic acid, and vanillic acid). The strain utilized p-coumaric acid, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, and ferulic acid not only as the sole carbon source; full biodegradation occurred also in mixtures of multiple monomers. Vanillic acid was not utilized as the sole carbon source, but was degraded in the presence of p-coumaric acid, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, and ferulic acid. Syringic acid was utilized neither as the sole carbon source nor in mixtures of compounds. Biodegradation of lignin-derived aromatic monomers was detected over a broad temperature range (1–25 °C), which is of ecological significance and of biotechnological relevance.
