The yeast flora of some decaying mushrooms on trunks of living trees

Several ascomycetous and basidiomycetous yeasts were isolated from rotten mushrooms on the trunks of beech and tamarisk trees. One strain, identified as the novel species Cryptococcus allantoinivorans, assimilated allantoin as the sole carbon source. Phylogenetically it belongs to the C. laurentii complex, Papiliotrema bandonii being the closest relative. Some ascomycetous strains could not be distinguished from Pichia guillermondii, but deviated considerably in rDNA sequences. In addition to these species, both decaying mushrooms were inhabited by more common species, viz. Candida albicans, C. saitoana, Rhodotorula mucilaginosa, Trichosporon asahii, T. multisporum and T. porosum. The basidiomycetous yeasts, except R. mucilaginosa, assimilated some polysaccharides of plant origin.     

Polyphasic identification of yeasts isolated from bark of cork oak during the manufacturing process of cork stoppers

A two-step protocol was used for the identification of 52 yeasts isolated from bark of cork oak at initial stages of the manufacturing process of cork stoppers. The first step in the identification was the separation of the isolates into groups by their physiological properties and RFLPs of the ITS-5.8S rRNA gene. The second step was the sequencing of the D1/D2 domains of the 26S rRNA gene of selected isolates representing the different groups. The results revealed a predominance of basidiomycetous yeasts (11 species), while only two species represented the ascomycetous yeasts. Among the basidiomycetous yeasts, members representing the species Rhodosporidium kratochvilovae and Rhodotorula nothofagi, that have been previously isolated from plant material, were the most abundant. Yeasts pertaining to the species Debaryomyces hansenii var. fabryii, Rhodotorula mucilaginosa and Trichosporon mucoides were isolated in small numbers.     

Yeast biodiversity in hydromorphic soils with reference to grass-Sphagnum swamp in Western Siberia and the hammocky tundra region( Barrow, Alaska)]

The microbiological analysis of 78 samples taken from a boreal bog in Western Siberia and from a tundra wetland soil in Alaska showed the presence of 23 yeast species belonging to the genera Bullera, Candida, Cryptococcus, Debaryomyces, Hanseniaspora, Metschnikowia, Mrakia, Pichia, Rhodotorula, Saccharomyces, Sporobolomyces, Torulaspora, and Trichosporon. Peat samples from the boreal bog were dominated by eurytopic anamorphic basidiomycetous species, such as Rhodotorula mucilaginosa and Sporobolomyces roseus, and by the ascomycetous yeasts Candida spp. and Debaryomyces hansenii. These samples also contained two rare ascomycetous species (Candida paludigena and Schizoblastosporion starkeyi-henricii), which so far have been found only in taiga wetland soils. The wetland Alaskan soil was dominated by one yeast species (Cryptococcus gilvescens), which is a typical inhabitant of tundra soils. Therefore, geographic factors may serve for a more reliable prediction of yeast diversity in soils than the physicochemical or ecotopic parameters of these soils.     

Cell-wall structure,mitosis and urease activity in Torulopsis species of high GC content

Five Torulopsis species, in which, characteristically, the mean molar percentage of guanine plus cytosine of the DNA bases (GC content) is above 50%, were examined to determine their cell-wall structure; the mode of bud formation; course of mitosis and their urease activity. The two urease-negative species, T. gropengiesseri (% GC 57.1) and T. silvatica (% GC 56.3), were found to possess affinitive properties which characterize perfect ascomycetous yeast species. In the urease-positive species, T. fujisanensis (% GC 65.0–66.1), T. ingeniosa (% GC 55.6) and T. philyla (% GC 63.9), there appeared to be a correlation between pronounced urease activity and the affinitive properties which characterize perfect basidiomycetous yeast species. Pronounced urease activity has, however, also been found in the ascomycetous species Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Consequently neither high GC ratios nor the presence of urease activity when considered individually, can be taken as reliable criteria when attempting to establish the affinity of yeasts the perfect states of which are not known, with the Basidiomycetes. A strain of the ascomycetous species Sclerotinia trifoliorum was examined by electron microscopy for comparative purposes.

Selenium tolerance of yeasts

Selenium tolerance of yeasts widely varies: the growth of some yeasts can be inhibited by a selenium concentration as low as 10(-4) M, whereas others can grow in the presence of 10(-1) M selenium. Homogeneous yeast taxa are characterized by a certain level of selenium tolerance, and heterogeneous taxa show a variable level of tolerance to selenium. In general, ascomycetous yeasts are more tolerant to selenium than basidiomycetous yeasts. Among the ascomycetous yeasts, the genera Dekkera and Schizosaccharomyces exhibited the lowest and the species Candida maltosa, Hanseniaspora valbyensis, Kluyveromyces marxianus, and Yarrowia lipolytica the highest tolerance to selenium. Among the basidiomycetous yeasts, the genera Bullera, Cryptococcus, and Holtermannia showed the lowest and the species Cryptococcus curvatus, Cr. humicola, and Trichosporon spp. the highest tolerance to selenium. The selenium tolerance of yeasts depends on the composition of the growth medium, in particular, on the presence of sulfate, sulfur-containing amino acids, and glutamine in the medium.     

Utilization of phenol by hydrocarbon assimilating yeasts

77 Ascomycetous, basidiomycetous as well as imperfect yeast strains of 46 different species and 20 genera were tested for growth with the substrates n-octane, n-hexadecane, and phenol. Of 59 yeast strains with ascomycetous cell wall structure 33 grew on hydrocarbons and 32 on phenol. No yeast strain out of 26 which are unable to use n-alkanes as a source of carbon and energy grew on phenol. In comparison with the latter 32 out of 33 n-hexadecane assimilating yeasts were also capable of using phenol. All n-octane utilizing yeasts of this group also assimilate phenol as a carbon source for growth.The correlation of the hydrocarbon assimilation with the phenol assimilation seems to be not so strong in the basidiomycetous yeasts. 7 out of 18 strains from this group grew on n-hexadecane and 13 on phenol.Furthermore, it could be shown that the use of hydrocarbons and phenol (as well as methanol) is strongly correlated with the coenzyme Q structure of the respective yeast strain.The results are discussed with respect to the particular chemical properties of the substrates used and the fact that coenzyme Q structure is considered to be an important marker of evolutionary relationships among yeasts.     

A survey of yeast ureases and characterisation of partially purified Rhodosporidium paludigenum urease

Cell-free extracts of a selection of yeasts were analysed for urease activity. Species in the genera Filobasidiella, Rhodotorula and Rhodosporidium had the highest specific activities. Immune inactivation experiments showed widely different degrees of cross-reactivity between antiserum to jack bean urease and yeast ureases, with Rhodosporidium paludigenum (71%) the most and Schizosaccharomyces pombe (3%) the least affected. Only R. paludigenum urease was detected with anti-jack bean urease antiserum on Western blots. The urease of Rhodosporidium paludigenum was partially purified by column chromatography. The native enzyme was found to have a subunit size of 72 +/- 7 kDa probably in an octamer arrangement of 560 +/- 8 kDa, having a specific activity of 62.5 mumol urea hydrolysed min-1 (mg protein)-1. The enzyme was stable in the pH range 5-11 with optimum activity at pH 7.8. Vmax and Km values were determined as 65.2 +/- 3.8 mumol min-1 (mg protein)-1 and 3.81 +/- 0.47 mM, respectively.     

Yeast Diversity in Hydromorphic Soils with Reference to a Grass–Sphagnum Wetland in Western Siberia and a Hummocky Tundra Region at Cape Barrow (Alaska)

The microbiological analysis of 78 samples taken from a high bog in Western Siberia and from a tundra wetland soil in Alaska showed the presence of 23 yeast species belonging to the genera Bullera, Candida, Cryptococcus, Debaryomyces, Hanseniaspora, Metschnikowia, Mrakia, Pichia, Rhodotorula, Saccharomyces, Sporobolomyces, Torulaspora, and Trichosporon.Peat samples from the high bog were dominated by eurytopic anamorphic basidiomycetous species, such as Rhodotorula mucilaginosaand Sporobolomyces roseus, and by the ascomycetous yeasts Candidaspp. and Debaryomyces hansenii.These samples also contained two rare ascomycetous species (Candida paludigenaand Schizoblastosporion starkeyi-henricii), which so far have been found only in taiga wetland soils. The wetland Alaskan soil was dominated by one yeast species (Cryptococcus gilvescens), which is a typical inhabitant of tundra soils. Therefore, geographic factors may serve for a more reliable prediction of yeast diversity in soils than the physicochemical or ecotopic parameters of these soils.
