Genomic factors shape carbon and nitrogen metabolic niche breadth across Saccharomycotina yeasts. Science 2024; 384:eadj4503.

Abstract
Organisms exhibit extensive variation in ecological niche breadth, from very narrow (specialists) to very broad (generalists). Two general paradigms have been proposed to explain this variation: (i) trade-offs between performance efficiency and breadth and (ii) the joint influence of extrinsic (environmental) and intrinsic (genomic) factors. We assembled genomic, metabolic, and ecological data from nearly all known species of the ancient fungal subphylum Saccharomycotina (1154 yeast strains from 1051 species), grown in 24 different environmental conditions, to examine niche breadth evolution. We found that large differences in the breadth of carbon utilization traits between yeasts stem from intrinsic differences in genes encoding specific metabolic pathways, but we found limited evidence for trade-offs. These comprehensive data argue that intrinsic factors shape niche breadth variation in microbes.

Bernardi B, Michling F, Muno-Bender J, Matti K, Wendland J. The genome sequence of the Champagne Epernay Geisenheim wine yeast reveals its hybrid nature. FEMS Yeast Res 2023; 23:foad033.

Abstract
Lager yeasts are hybrids between Saccharomyces cerevisiae and S. eubayanus. Wine yeast biodiversity, however, has only recently been discovered to include besides pure S. cerevisiae strains also hybrids between different Saccharomyces yeasts as well as introgressions from non-Saccharomyces species. Here, we analysed the genome of the Champagne Epernay Geisenheim (CEG) wine yeast. This yeast is an allotetraploid (4n - 1) hybrid of S. cerevisiae harbouring a substantially reduced S. kudriavzevii genome contributing only 1/3 of a full genome equivalent. We identified a novel oligopeptide transporter gene, FOT4, in CEG located on chromosome XVI. FOT genes were originally derived from Torulaspora microellipsoides and FOT4 arose by non-allelic recombination between adjacent FOT1 and FOT2 genes. Fermentations of CEG in Riesling and Müller-Thurgau musts were compared with the S. cerevisiae Geisenheim wine yeast GHM, which does not carry FOT genes. At low temperature (10°C), CEG completed fermentations faster and produced increased levels of higher alcohols (e.g. isoamyl alcohol). At higher temperature (18°C), CEG produced higher amounts of the pineapple-like alkyl esters i-butyric and propionic acid ethyl esters compared to GHM. The hybrid nature of CEG thus provides advantages in grape must fermentations over S. cerevisiae wine yeasts, especially with regard to aroma production.

Eremothecium coryli bloodstream infection in a patient with acute myeloid leukemia: first case report of human infection. Diagn Microbiol Infect Dis 2019; 95:77-79.

Abstract
Eremothecium coryli is a dimorphic fungus of the Saccharomycetes class. While species within this class are known to cause human infection, Eremothecium species have previously only been known as phytopathogens and never been isolated from a human sample. Here, we report the first known case of human E. coryli infection.
