Yeasts not belonging to species of the Saccharomyces genus, called nonconventional yeasts, have gained prominence recently in the biotechnological scenario. For many years, they have been generally characterized as undesirable contaminants in fermentative processes. However, several studies pointed them as useful for many biotechnological applications. This chapter will cover some of these applications, highlighting the most widely employed nonconventional yeasts. The use of non-Saccharomyces strains in (I) xylose fermentation for the production of ethanol and xylitol, (II) brewing industry, (III) improvement of coffee and cocoa fermentation, and (IV) plant growth promotion will be presented.

“…allomyrinae from insects (Wang et al 2016). Spathaspora has been shown to be a polyphyletic group, containing members placed throughout the larger Spathaspora/Candida albicans/Lodderomyces clade of Debaryomycetaceae (Morais et al 2017;Varize et al 2018). Several Candida species, such as C. blackwellae, C. jeffriesii, C. lyxosophila, C. materiae, C. parablackwellae and C. subhashii, are closely related to Spathaspora, based on a phylogenetic analysis of the D1/D2 domain of the nuclear 28S rDNA (nuc 28S) sequences (Cadete et al 2013;Daniel et al 2014;Morais et al 2017;Varize et al 2018).…”

“…Spathaspora species are associated with rotting-wood substrates and the insects that occupy this ecological niche (Cadete et al 2009(Cadete et al , 2013Nguyen et al 2011;Lopes et al 2016;Wang et al 2016;Morais et al 2017;Varize et al 2018). They can be found in tropical, subtropical and temperate regions on different continents, but most species are presently known from Brazilian regions (Cadete et al 2009(Cadete et al , 2013Lopes et al 2016;Morais et al 2017;Varize et al 2018). In China, the genus is underexplored with only three published reports of the species Sp.…”

Five new additions to the genus Spathaspora (Saccharomycetales, Debaryomycetaceae) from southwest China

Spathaspora is an important genus of d-xylose-fermenting yeasts that are poorly studied in China. During recent yeast collections in Yunnan Province in China, 13 isolates of Spathaspora were obtained from rotting wood and all represent undescribed taxa. Based on morphological and phylogenetic analyses (ITS and nuc 28S), five new species are proposed: Spathaspora elongata, Sp. mengyangensis, Sp. jiuxiensis, Sp. parajiuxiensis and Sp. rosae. Our results indicate a high species diversity of Spathaspora waiting to be discovered in rotting wood from tropical and subtropical southwest China. In addition, the two Candida species, C. jeffriesii and C. materiae, which are members of the Spathaspora clade based on phylogeny, are transferred to Spathaspora as new combinations.

Four yeast isolates were obtained from rotting wood and galleries of passalid beetles collected in different sites of the Brazilian Amazonian Rainforest in Brazil. This yeast produces unconjugated allantoid asci each with a single elongated ascospore with curved ends. Sequence analysis of the internal transcribed spacer‐5.8 S region and the D1/D2 domains of the large subunit ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene showed that the isolates represent a novel species of the genus Spathaspora. The novel species is phylogenetically related to a subclade containing Spathaspora arborariae and Spathaspora suhii. Phylogenomic analysis based on 1884 single‐copy orthologs for a set of Spathaspora species whose whole genome sequences are available confirmed that the novel species represented by strain UFMG‐CM‐Y285 is phylogenetically close to Sp. arborariae. The name Spathaspora marinasilvae sp. nov. is proposed to accommodate the novel species. The holotype of Sp. marinasilvae is CBS 13467 T (MycoBank 852799). The novel species was able to accumulate xylitol and produce ethanol from d‐xylose, a trait of biotechnological interest common to several species of the genus Spathaspora.
