“…Similarly, Scheffersomyces and Sugiyamaella genera are reported as xylose-fermenting genera containing species having an ethanol production capacity (Jia et al, 2020;Lopes et al, 2018;Morais et al, 2020;Sena et al, 2017). This is the first report that describes bioethanol production from S. coipomoensis and S. paludigena strains.…”

“…M. guilliermondii , is a promising species implicated in various biotechnological applications, including the conversion of pentoses to ethanol (Martini et al, 2016; Matos et al, 2014; Yan et al, 2021). Similarly, Scheffersomyces and Sugiyamaella genera are reported as xylose-fermenting genera containing species having an ethanol production capacity (Jia et al, 2020; Lopes et al, 2018; Morais et al, 2020; Sena et al, 2017).

Pomegranate residues (PRs) (i.e. the solid residues remaining after juice extraction), generated currently in abundance in Greece, contain a variety of carbon sources and therefore can be regarded as a potential feedstock for chemical and biotechnological processes rather than as waste materials. In the current project, the polysaccharides contained in PRs were extracted and hydrolyzed in a one-step process without the use of chemical reagents and the resulting broth was used as substrate in biotechnological applications, including ethanol and single cell oil (SCO) production. The yeasts Meyerozyma guilliermondii, Scheffersomyces coipomoensis, Sugiyamaella paludigena and especially Saccharomyces cerevisiae, were able to efficiently convert PR derived reducing sugars into bioethanol. Ethanol production under anaerobic conditions ranged from 3.6 to 12.5 g/L. In addition, the oleaginous yeasts Lipomyces lipofer and Yarrowia lipolytica as well as M. guilliermondii, S. coipomoensis and S. paludigena were tested for their ability to accumulate lipids suitable as feedstock for biodiesel production. Lipids were accumulated at concentrations up to 18% and were rich in palmitic acid (C16:0) and oleic acid (C18:1). Finally, the oleaginous fungus Cunnichamella echinulata was cultivated on PR based solid substrates for γ-linolenic acid (GLA) production. The fermented bio-products (i.e. fermented substrate plus fungal mycelia) contained up to 4.8 mg GLA/g of dry weight. Phenolic removal (up to 30%) was achieved by several of the above mentioned microorganisms, including C. echinulata, L. lipofer, M. guilliermondii, S. paludigena and Y. lipolytica. We conclude that PRs can be used as a raw material for microbial growth, ethanol and SCO production, which is of economic and environmental importance.

“…Previously assigned to the genus Pichia on the basis of phenotypic traits such as the ability to form ascospores, the species spartinae was assigned to its current genus Scheffersomyces in 2010 after large-subunit (LSU) rRNA (D1/D2) and small-subunit (SSU) rRNA gene sequencing provided support for its reassignment ( 1 ). Assignment of Scheffersomyces spartinae to its current genus remains controversial because of poor bootstrap support and, unlike other members of the genus, its inability to efficiently ferment d -xylose to ethanol ( 1 , 2 ). However, S. spartinae is known to produce coenzyme Q9, fostering interest in the species for its potential biotechnological applications ( 1 ).…”
