Xylose is the second most abundant monomeric sugar in plant biomass. Consequently,
xylose catabolism is an ecologically important trait for saprotrophic organisms, as well as a …

This study investigated the diversity of yeast species associated with rotting wood in
Brazilian Amazonian rainforests. A total of 569 yeast strains were isolated from rotting wood …

Four isolates of Spathaspora species were recovered from rotting wood collected in two
Brazilian Amazonian biomes. The isolates produced unconjugated allantoid asci with a …

Lignocellulosic biomass is a renewable raw material for producing several high-value-
added chemicals and fuels. In general, xylose and glucose are the major sugars in biomass …

Spathaspora passalidarum is a xylose-fermenting microorganism promising for the
fermentation of lignocellulosic hydrolysates. This yeast is more sensitive to ethanol than …

Abstract Second-generation (2G) ethanol is obtained from the processing of lignocellulosic
biomasses, such as sugarcane bagasse. However, several obstacles need to be overcome …

Non-conventional yeasts, ie yeasts different from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, represent
heterogenous group of unicellular fungi consisting of near 1500 species. Some of these …

Abstract Stag beetle (Coleoptera: Lucanidae) females have mycangia that harbor xylose-
fermenting yeasts such as Scheffersomyces Kurtzman & M. Suzuki species …

Citrus fruits are widely consumed worldwide due to their nutritional and health benefits.
However, the disposal of citrus waste poses significant environmental challenges. Orange …
