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 …

Microbes and their carbohydrate-active enzymes are central for depolymerization of
complex lignocellulosic polysaccharides in the global carbon cycle. Their unique abilities to …

Unconventional yeasts have attracted increased attentions owning to their unique
biochemical properties and potential application in the biotechnological process. With the …

This review is an account of experiences of two research teams (from Italy to Spain); the
leading idea is the following: yeasts represent valuable sources in food science and …

Papiliotrema laurentii, previously classified as Cryptococcus laurentii, is an oleaginous yeast
that has been isolated from soil, plants, and agricultural and industrial residues. This variety …

Some soil microorganisms, especially bacteria and mycorrhizal fungi, play a role in the
promotion of plant growth. However, plant growth promotion involving yeasts in soil has not …

Peatlands are major carbon sinks globally, but it is still unclear what drives their shift from
functioning as carbon sink to a source. Fungi rely on soil carbon inputs and play an active …

The present paper describes the first screening study of the ability of natural yeast strains to
synthesize in culture the plant-related cytokine hormone zeatin, which was carried out using …

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 …

In this study, we successfully isolated two distinct yeasts from Moroccan extreme
environments. These yeasts were subjected to molecular characterization by analyzing their …
