“…It is worth to consider that the investigations carried out in Ecuador and Malaysia ( Freitas et al, 2013 ), Thailand ( Saksinchai et al, 2015 ), Indonesia ( Basukriadi et al, 2010 ), Nigeria ( Adelabu et al, 2019 ), and Iran ( Siavoshi et al, 2018 ) are related to individual studies, hence the lack of identification of S. cerevisiae could be ascribed to the procedure adopted for yeast isolation. On the other hand, multiple studies failed in identifying S. cerevisiae in association with beetles, honeybees and mosquitoes, butterflies, mites, and moths collected in J ( Toki et al, 2012 ; Ninomiya et al, 2013 ), SAf ( de Vega et al, 2012 ; Steyn et al, 2016 ), and CA ( Lachance et al, 2001a , b , 2006 , Suh and Blackwell, 2006 ; Suh et al, 2006 , 2007 ; Rivera et al, 2009 ; Urbina et al, 2013 ; Ravenscraft et al, 2018 ). The lack of identification of S. cerevisiae in insects of these areas could indicate an unusual situation that is worth to be further investigated.…”

“…Similarly, S. cerevisiae has not been found in butterflies ( n = 11 species in different locations) and moths ( n = 4) ( Suh et al, 2006 ; Witzgall et al, 2012 ; Ravenscraft et al, 2018 ). Interestingly, only the 0.03% of beetles, which have been widely investigated ( n = 236), bear S. cerevisiae ( Kurtzman and Robnett, 1998 ; Lachance et al, 2001a , b , 2006 ; Six, 2003 ; Suh and Blackwell, 2004 , Suh et al, 2005 , 2006 , 2007 , 2013 ; Delalibera et al, 2005 ; Nguyen et al, 2006 ; Rosa et al, 2007 ; Rivera et al, 2009 ; de Vega et al, 2012 ; Hui et al, 2012 ; Toki et al, 2012 ; Freitas et al, 2013 ; Kaltenpoth and Steiger, 2013 ; Ninomiya et al, 2013 ; Urbina et al, 2013 ; Cline et al, 2014 ; Ren et al, 2014 , 2015 ; Liu et al, 2016 ; Tanahashi and Hawes, 2016 ; Wang et al, 2016 ; Briones-Roblero et al, 2017 ; Chai et al, 2019 ). Similarly, bees only accidentally bear S. cerevisiae , with only 1 occurrence over 21 reported cases ( Sandhu and Waraich, 1985 ; Lachance et al, 2003 ; Rosa et al, 2003 ; Daniel et al, 2013 ; Charron et al, 2014 ; Saksinchai et al, 2015 ).…”

Saccharomyces cerevisiae – Insects Association: Impacts, Biogeography, and Extent

Over the last few years, an increasing number of studies have reported the existence of an association between the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and insects. The discovery of this relationship has called into question the hypothesis that S. cerevisiae is unable to survive in nature and that the presence of S. cerevisiae strains in natural specimens is the result of contamination from human-related environments. S. cerevisiae cells benefit from this association as they find in the insect intestine a shelter, but also a place where they can reproduce themselves through mating, the latter being an event otherwise rarely observed in natural environments. On the other hand, insects also take advantage in hosting S. cerevisiae as they rely on yeasts as nutriment to properly develop, to localize suitable food, and to enhance their immune system. Despite the relevance of this relationship on both yeast and insect ecology, we are still far from completely appreciating its extent and effects. It has been shown that other yeasts are able to colonize only one or a few insect species. Is it the same for S. cerevisiae cells or is this yeast able to associate with any insect? Similarly, is this association geographically or topographically limited in areas characterized by specific physical features? With this review, we recapitulate the nature of the S. cerevisiaeinsect association, disclose its extent in terms of geographical distribution and species involved, and present YeastFinder, a cured online database providing a collection of information on this topic.

“…Since the last yeast taxonomic treatise (Kurtzman et al , 2011), novel species of Cyberlindnera have been described, such as Lindnera ( Cyberlindnera ) rhizosphaerae (Mestre et al , 2011), Lindnera ( Cyberlindnera ) wuzhiensis (Wang & Bai, 2010), C. samutprakarnensis (Poomtien et al , 2013) and C. xylebori (Ninomiya et al , 2013). Other species recently described as C. mengyuniae , C. adriatica , C. maesa , C. takata , C. taoyuanica , C. hungchunana and C. stauntonica also belong to the Cyberlindnera clade (Chen et al , 2009; Čadež et al , 2012; Chang et al , 2012).…”

Independent surveys of yeasts associated with lignocellulosic-related materials led to the discovery of a novel yeast species belonging to the Cyberlindnera clade (Saccharomycotina, Ascomycota). Analysis of the sequences of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region and the D1/D2 domains of the large subunit rRNA gene showed that this species is related to C. japonica, C. maesa and C. easanensis. Six isolates were obtained from different sources, including rotting wood, tree bark and sugar cane filter cake in Brazil, frass from white oak in the USA and decayed leaf in Taiwan. A novel species is suggested to accommodate these isolates, for which the name C. xylosilytica sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of C. xylosilytica sp. nov. is NRRL YB-2097T ( = CBS 13984T = UFMG-CM-Y347T) and the allotype is UFMG-CM-Y409 ( = CBS 14083). The novel species is heterothallic and complementary mating types are represented by the type and allotype strains. The MycoBank number is MB 811428.

In the present work, we investigated the phylogenetic position and phenotypic characteristics of eight yeast isolates collected from migratory birds on the island of Ustica, Italy. A phylogenetic analysis based on the D1/D2 region of the large-subunit rRNA gene showed that all isolates clustered as a single separate lineage within the Wickerhamomyces clade. They exhibited distinct morphological and physiological characteristics and were clearly separated from their closest relatives, Wickerhamomyces lynferdii, Wickerhamomyces anomalus and Wickerhamomyces subpelliculosus, in blastn searches. On the basis of the isolation source, physiological features and molecular strain typing carried out with randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD)-PCR and minisatellite-primed (MSP)-PCR analysis, the isolates were identified as strains of the same species. The name Wickerhamomyces sylviae f.a., sp. nov. is proposed to accommodate these novel strains; the type strain is U88A2T ( = PYCC 6345T = CBS 12888T). The MycoBank number is MB 804762.
