Organisms exhibit extensive variation in ecological niche breadth, from very narrow
(specialists) to very broad (generalists). Two general paradigms have been proposed to …

Introduction Eukaryotic life depends on the functional elements encoded by both the nuclear
genome and organellar genomes, such as those contained within the mitochondria. The …

How genomic differences contribute to phenotypic differences is a major question in biology.
The recently characterized genomes, isolation environments, and qualitative patterns of …

The Saccharomycotina yeasts (“yeasts” hereafter) are a fungal clade of scientific, economic,
and medical significance. Yeasts are highly ecologically diverse, found across a broad …

The concept of fastidious microorganisms currently found in scientific literature is mainly
related to the difficulty of isolating/culturing/preserving bacteria. Eukaryotes are investigated …

Siderophores are crucial for iron-scavenging in microorganisms. While many yeasts can
uptake siderophores produced by other organisms, they are typically unable to synthesize …

The∼ 1 200 known species in subphylum Saccharomycotina are a highly diverse clade of
unicellular fungi. During its lifecycle, a typical yeast exhibits multiple cell types with various …

Single-cell protein (SCP) is a vital supplement for animal protein feed. This study utilized
biogas slurry and sugarcane molasses to ferment Nectaromyces rattus for the production of …

Modern taxonomic classification is often based on phylogenetic analyses of a few molecular
markers, although single-gene studies are still common. Here, we leverage genome-scale …

Background Cost-effective production of biofuels from lignocellulose requires the
fermentation of d-xylose. Many yeast species within and closely related to the genera …
