“…Similar parasexual cycles have been observed in Candida dubliniensis and C. tropicalis (71,74). More than 30 species from the Candida/Lodderomyces clade have now been described, including many that are associated with insects and are not known to be human fungal pathogens (28,46,51,66,78,96). The organization of MTL in these species is not known.…”

“…PIK, PAP, and OBP genes are found at a location conserved with MTL from other species, but there is no evidence of MTLa or MTLα genes at this site or anywhere else in the L. elongisporus genome (Figure 3; 10,14). Other related asci-producing species in the Candida/Lodderomyces clade include Candida baotianmanensis, Candida pseudoviswanathii, Nematodospora valgi and Nematodospora anomalae (28,78,79). However, no sequence information is available from these recently described species, and the structure and function of their MTL loci are not known.…”

The fungal phylum Ascomycota comprises three subphyla: Saccharomycotina, Pezizomycotina, and Taphrinomycotina. In many Saccharomycotina species, cell identity is determined by genes at the MAT (mating-type) locus; mating occurs between MATa and MATα cells. Some species can switch between MATa and MATα mating types. Switching in the Saccharomycotina originated in the common ancestor of the Saccharomycetaceae, Pichiaceae, and Metschnikowiaceae families, as a flip/flop mechanism that inverted a section of chromosome. Switching was subsequently lost in the Metschnikowiaceae, including Candida albicans, but became more complex in the Saccharomycetaceae when the mechanism changed from inversion to copy-and-paste between HML/HMR and MAT. Based on their phylogenetic closeness and the similarity of their MTL (mating-type like) loci, some Metschnikowia species may provide useful models for the sexual cycles of Candida species. Conservation of synteny demonstrates that, despite changes in its gene content, a single orthologous locus (MAT/MTL) has controlled cell type throughout ascomycete evolution.

“…Recent studies combined barcode sequences and physiological characteristics to describe new temperate forest yeast taxa from Bulgaria (Gouliamova et al, 2016;Gouliamova & Dimitrov, 2020). Such studies, especially when combined with genome sequencing and genetic crosses, can help determine how phenotypic characteristics shift across the boundaries of taxonomic units.…”

Yeasts are ubiquitous in temperate forests. While this broad habitat is well‐defined, the yeasts inhabiting it and their life cycles, niches, and contributions to ecosystem functioning are less understood. Yeasts are present on nearly all sampled substrates in temperate forests worldwide. They associate with soils, macroorganisms, and other habitats and no doubt contribute to broader ecosystem‐wide processes. Researchers have gathered information leading to hypotheses about yeasts' niches and their life cycles based on physiological observations in the laboratory as well as genomic analyses, but the challenge remains to test these hypotheses in the forests themselves. Here, we summarize the habitat and global patterns of yeast diversity, give some information on a handful of well‐studied temperate forest yeast genera, discuss the various strategies to isolate forest yeasts, and explain temperate forest yeasts' contributions to biotechnology. We close with a summary of the many future directions and outstanding questions facing researchers in temperate forest yeast ecology. Yeasts present an exciting opportunity to better understand the hidden world of microbial ecology in this threatened and global habitat.

“…Several novel species belonging to these genera have been described since 2011. In addition, the following novel genera of or related to the family Debaryomycetaceae have been introduced, genus names are followed by the isolation source of the respective type species; Danielozyma , insect frass (Kurtzman & Robnett, 2014), Diutina , leaf, cow dung, clinical source, rancid butter, soil (Khunnamwong et al, 2015), Hemisphaericaspora , frass of wood‐boring beetles (Hui et al, 2014), Limtongozyma , samples from grease traps (Boontham et al, 2020), Metahyphopichia , flower (Sipiczki et al, 2016), Nematodospora , beetle gut (Gouliamova et al, 2016), Suhomyces , moss (Kurtzman et al, 2016), and Teunomyces , mushroom, leaf (Kurtzman et al, 2016). However, the origin of type species does not always reflect the ecology of other members of the genus, for example species of genus Suhomyces are mostly found in insect associated habitats (Kijpornyongpan et al, 2019).…”

During the course of independent studies in Europe, North America, and Africa, seven yeast strains were isolated from insect frass, decaying wood, tree flux, and olive oil sediment. Phylogenetic analysis of two barcoding DNA regions (internal transcribed spacer and the D1/D2 domain of the LSU rRNA gene) revealed that they belong to two closely related undescribed species distinct from all genera in the family Debaryomycetaceae. For reliable taxonomic placement the genomes of four strains of the two novel species and six type strains of closely related species were sequenced. Orthologous genes from 54 genomes of representatives of the Pichiomycetes and 23 outgroup taxa were concatenated to construct a fully supported phylogenetic tree. Consistent with the assumptions, we found that the two new species belong to a novel genus. In addition, the delimitation of the novel species was supported by genetic distance calculations from average nucleotide identity (ANI) and digital DNA:DNA hybridization (dDDH) values. The physiological characterization of the novel species was generally consistent with their genomic content. All strains had two alleles encoding secretory lipase in either two or three copies depending on the species. However, lipolytic activity was detected only in strains with three copies of the secretory lipase gene. Nevertheless, lipolytic activity might be related to their association with the insect gut. Based on these results, formal descriptions of the new genus Rasporella gen. nov. and of two new species Rasporella dianae sp. nov. (holotype UCDFST 68‐643T, MycoBank no.: 850238) and Rasporella oleae sp. nov. (holotype ZIM 2471T, MycoBank no.: 850126) are provided.
