Advancing Yeast Identification Using High‐Throughput DNA Barcode Data From a Curated Culture Collection

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Yeast identification is essential in fields ranging from microbiology and biotechnology to food science and medicine. While DNA barcoding has become the standard for identifying cultured strains, environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding has revolutionised microbial community profiling, providing deeper insights into yeast communities across ...

The effects of high-tannin leaf litter from transgenic poplars on microbial communities in microcosm soils.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2013
The impacts of leaf litter from genetically-modified hybrid poplar accumulating high levels of condensed tannins (proanthocyanidins) were examined in soil microcosms consisting of moss growing on sieved soil.

A Survey of the Microbial Presence and Growth in Tunnel Pasteurizers of the Beverage Industry

Journal of Food Processing and Preservation, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The aim of this descriptive study is to survey the microbial presence and growth in tunnel pasteurizers of the beer and beverage industry. Whole container pasteurization is used to treat products after filling to ensure shelf‐life stability when no aseptic procedures are followed and the products are susceptible to microbial spoilage.

Genomic characterization and radiation tolerance of Naganishia kalamii sp. nov. and Cystobasidium onofrii sp. nov. from Mars 2020 mission assembly facilities

IMA Fungus, 2023
During the construction and assembly of the Mars 2020 mission components at two different NASA cleanrooms, several fungal strains were isolated. Based on their colony morphology, two strains that showed yeast-like appearance were further characterized ...

Variation in seed‐borne microbial communities of Metrosideros excelsa Sol. ex Gaertn. with consequences for germination success

New Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 63, Issue 5, Page 1981-2004, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Seed endophytic bacteria and fungi are co‐dispersed with seeds and are likely founders of the initial endophytic microbiome in developing seedlings. The effects of the seed microbiome on seedling survival and growth are of particular interest for their roles in protection against pathogens and plant resistance to environmental stress.

New Primers for Discovering Fungal Diversity Using Nuclear Large Ribosomal DNA. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Metabarcoding has become an important tool in the discovery of biodiversity, including fungi, which are the second most speciose group of eukaryotes, with diverse and important ecological roles in terrestrial ecosystems.

Decaying Spruce Wood as a Factor in Soil Carbon and Energy Flow Through Microbial Communities

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 6, December 2025.
Decomposing spruce deadwood enhances microbial activity, increases carbon and nitrogen availability and improves soil moisture retention. It plays a crucial role in long‐term carbon storage and biodiversity maintenance, influencing energy and nutrient cycling within forest ecosystems.

Soil Nutrient Availability Drives Fungal Community Structure and Function During the Transformation of Eucalypt Plantations Logging Sites in Southern China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.
Highly intensive eucalyptus plantation management has led to an imbalance of nutrients in the forest land, which has seriously weakened the self‐healing capacity of the ecosystem. Therefore, it is urgent to restore the soil quality of logging sites in multi‐generation continuous plantations. Soil microorganisms, especially fungi, play an important role

Different Patterns of Frequency, Lichen Specificity and Thallus Location Between the Yeast and Filamentous Phases of Two Lichen‐Inhabiting Basidiomycetes

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 27, Issue 11, November 2025.
The yeast phases of two lichen‐inhabiting basidiomycetes (1) are less specific towards the lichen they inhabit than the filamentous phase, (2) coexist with yeasts of different taxonomic classes and (3) occur in the cortex—as previously reported—but also in the medulla and interestingly in the soredia, the asexual symbiotic propagules of the lichen ...
