The Wickerhamiella/Starmerella clade—A treasure trove for the study of the evolution of yeast metabolism

Abstract: The Wickerhamiella and Starmerella genera form a clade (W/S clade) that branches close to Yarrowia lipolytica in the Saccharomycotina species tree. It comprises approximately 90 recognized species and 50 putative new species not formally described yet. The large majority of the members of the W/S clade are ecologically associated with flowers and floricolous insects. Many species exhibit unusual metabolic traits, like fructophily and the production of sophorolipids, which are glycolipids that can be used as en… Show more

“…According to a comprehensive phylogenetic tree based on ITS1 sequences of 3942 fungal species, this Starmerella subclade does not include other enological non-Saccharomyces yeast species, suggesting a strong genetic divergence from the large wine yeast group [29]. The specific features present in Starmerella versus Wickerhamiella subclades probably result from the remodeling of important fluxes in central carbon metabolism as well as the reinstatement of other metabolic pathways [28]. Thus, the genera Starmerella harbors an unusually large number of genes of alien origin, which were shown to reconstruct the fermentative pathway in S. bacillaris [30], as well as other metabolic pathways, as shown in Starmerella bombicola [31,32].…”

“…2.1. Starmerella/Wickerhamiella Clade S. bacillaris has been recognized as part of the W/S (Wickerhamiella and Starmerella) clade that branches close to Yarrowia lipolytica in the Saccharomycotina species tree [28]. A detailed phylogenetic tree of the W/S clade has recently been published [28].…”
