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 …

Tropical rainforests and related biomes are found in Asia, Australia, Africa, Central and
South America, Mexico, and many Pacific Islands. These biomes encompass less than 20 …

Pioneering studies performed in the nineteenth century demonstrated that yeasts are
present in below‐ground sources. Soils were regarded more as a reservoir for yeasts that …

In the last few decades more and more yeast habitats that were not investigated earlier,
spanning cold climates to tropical regions and dry deserts to rainforests, have been …

Yeasts are integral parts of phylloplane communities of temperate regions, where
ecosystems are not only influenced by short-term fluctuations in abiotic conditions, but …

Since the pioneer investigations of Pasteur in the 1860s, the study of the yeast world has
seen important advances, especially in terms of their phenotypic, taxonomic, and genetic …

Soil yeasts are common inhabitants of various soils, including those in forest biotopes.
Historically, yeasts were studied mainly in vineyard, orchard and agricultural soils. Due to …

Soil yeasts are globally diverse. They are found in almost all soil types, and the structure of
soil yeast communities reflects aboveground vegetation properties. Cultivation techniques …

Unicellular saprobic fungi (yeasts) inhabit soils worldwide. Although yeast species typically
occupy defined areas on the biome scale, their distribution patterns within a single type of …

While the study of bacteria and filamentous fungi that inhabit plants has been extensive,
endophytic yeast biology remains less understood. Recent research is encouraging as to …
