“…The frequency of some well-known changes border on lunacy: Zygosaccharomyces fermentati (Naganishi, 1928 [184]), for instance, was altered to Saccharomyces cerevisiae in 1952 [169], to Zygosaccharomyces fermentati in 1954 [133], to Saccharomyces montanus in 1956 [201], to Torulaspora manchurica in 1975 [240], back again to Zygosaccharomyces fermentati in 1977 [255] and to Lachancea fermentati in 2003 [139].…”

“…In these environments it presumably must interact with a variety of insects. In particular, yeasts are a favorite food of Drosophilid species and S. cerevisiae has been cultured from the crops of Drosophila captured in the wild (Phaff et al 1956;Begon 1986).…”

Sporulation in the Budding Yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae

In response to nitrogen starvation in the presence of a poor carbon source, diploid cells of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae undergo meiosis and package the haploid nuclei produced in meiosis into spores. The formation of spores requires an unusual cell division event in which daughter cells are formed within the cytoplasm of the mother cell. This process involves the de novo generation of two different cellular structures: novel membrane compartments within the cell cytoplasm that give rise to the spore plasma membrane and an extensive spore wall that protects the spore from environmental insults. This article summarizes what is known about the molecular mechanisms controlling spore assembly with particular attention to how constitutive cellular functions are modified to create novel behaviors during this developmental process. Key regulatory points on the sporulation pathway are also discussed as well as the possible role of sporulation in the natural ecology of S. cerevisiae.

“…rhodunensis (Ramirez & Boidin) Boidin &r Abadie (1954), as well as Pichia xylosa Phaff, Miller & Shifrine (1956), and was compared with the type strains of both species. It was found that Pichia xylosa is identical with Petasospora rhodunensis (Table 2).…”

“…A severe form is caused by Cryptococcus neoformans and epizootics of this type have been reported by Pounden, Amberson & Jaeger (1952) and by Simon, Nichols & Morse (1953). So far C. neoformans has not been found as a saprophyte in the human or animal digestive tract, but has been isolated from soil (Emmons, 1951;Ajello, 1956), from pigeon nests and dung (Emmons, 1955) and from a Dentroctonus beetle (Shifrine & Phaff, 1956). In our series of 252 bovines no strain of C. neoformans was isolated.…”
