“…Finally, from D. paraguayensis crop, Saccharomyces cerevisiae was isolated and identified with 100% identity to reference strain NRRL Y-12632. (Mata, Valadão & Tidon, 2015;Machado, Gottschalk & Robe, 2016). These are good evidences that they occur naturally within the forest environment.…”

“…This group encompasses 80 species (Bächli, 2016) and is widely distributed over the Neotropical region (Val, Vilela & Marques, 1981;Hatadani et al, 2009). Several species that belong to D. tripunctata group are forest interior dwelling species (FIDS) of flies and use naturally-occurring fruits for feeding and breeding (Mata, Valadão & Tidon, 2015;Machado, Gottschalk & Robe, 2016).…”

“…The results of this work show that yeast populations of this species are available to Drosophila in these ecosystems. Moreover, Drosophila paraguayensis, D. mediopunctata and its cryptic sibling species D. unipunctata have been collected repeatedly in the interior of forests, and adults have emerged from naturally collected fruits (Mata, Valadão & Tidon, 2015;Machado, Gottschalk & Robe, 2016). These are good evidences that they occur naturally within the forest environment.…”

Background. Hoang, Kopp & Chandler (2015) questioned the use of commercial Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a model for investigating Drosophilayeast association, since this approach "may not be fully representative of host-microbe interactions as they operate in nature".They also claimed: "S. cerevisiae is rarely found with natural populations of D. melanogaster or other Drosophila species". Indeed, previous choice experiments found that Sophophora subgenus flies (including invasive species D. melanogaster) are more attracted to banana baits inoculated with apiculate yeasts such as Hanseniaspora uvarum over S. cerevisiae inoculated baits. Yet, the forest interior dwelling species (FIDS) D. tripunctata group flies choose preferentially S. cerevisiae inoculated baits over H. uvarum in a natural forest environment.Aim and Methods. Our objective was to carry out a pilot experiment to examine yeast species associated with Drosophila in a natural Atlantic Rainforest fragment, especially examining, the yeast found with FIDS of the D. tripunctata group. We sampled Drosophila in a natural population from a Neotropical forest fragment. Males were dissected for isolating yeast colonies from their crops and to use their genitalia for species identification. Yeast species were identified by sequencing the D1/D2 domains of the 26S rRNA gene. Results and Conclusion.We isolated five yeast species from crops of Drosophila species of tripunctata group, including one strain of S. cerevisiae (from D. paraguayensis), confirming a previous record of S. cerevisiae isolates from a few tripunctata group species. Thus, their contention that "the results from D. melanogaster-S. cerevisiae laboratory experiments may not be fully representative of host-microbe interactions in nature" is probably right, but because D.melanogaster is an invasive species that is preferentially attracted in forests to apiculate yeasts, yet S. cerevisiae may be associated with FIDS Drosophila such as D. paraguayensis.
