Yeasts associated with mines on tree leaves in the urban areas

Anna Glushakova et al.

Summary: The study investigated yeast complexes in urban areas by studying mines on tree leaves and undamaged leaves. It was found that the abundance of yeasts increased significantly during the development of mines, and no significant differences were observed between mines formed by different insects on different trees. Twelve yeast species were observed, with ascomycetous yeasts Hanseniaspora uvarum and H. occidentalis dominating the mines.

Virulence Factors of Candida spp. and Host Immune Response Important in the Pathogenesis of Vulvovaginal Candidiasis

Paulina Czechowicz et al.

Summary: Vulvovaginal candidiasis is a common type of vaginal infection in women, but is often underestimated. Research in the past 20 years has improved our understanding of the pathogenesis of fungal vaginal infections and highlighted the importance of host cell response and its impact on the course and treatment of the infection.

Role of melanin in the black yeast fungi Aureobasidium pullulans and Zalaria obscura in promoting tolerance to environmental stresses and to antimicrobial compounds

Raffaella Campana et al.

Summary: The role of melanin in black-fungi, specifically in Aureobasidium pullulans and Zalaria obscura, was investigated in this study. The results showed that melanin production contributed to increased tolerance to high temperature and UV-C radiation, while non-melanized cells were more susceptible to antifungals and essential oils. This research provides novel insights into the biological role of melanin in black-fungi and enhances our understanding of their environmental adaptive ability.

Ecology and functional potential of phyllosphere yeasts

Linda Gouka et al.

Summary: The phyllosphere, which refers to the aerial parts of plants, is home to various microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, viruses, and yeasts. Most research on yeasts has focused on Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Candida albicans, with little known about the ecology and functions of other yeasts found in the phyllosphere. This study explores the diversity, dynamics, interactions, and genomics of yeasts associated with plant leaves, and suggests using tools and approaches developed for model yeasts to unravel the ecology and natural functions of phyllosphere yeasts. Initial genomic survey reveals the untapped functional potential of phyllosphere yeasts.

Yeasts in Feces of Pigeons (Columba livia) in the City of Moscow

Anna M. Glushakova et al.

Summary: The study found that pigeon feces in various locations in Moscow contain a variety of yeast species, with higher numbers and potentially hazardous species present at higher isolation temperatures. These findings suggest that pigeon feces can serve as a constant source of infection for urban environments, especially for immunosuppressive individuals.

Body condition and colonization by fungi of House Sparrows Passer domesticus in the urban and rural environment

B. Dulisz et al.

Summary: Wild bird mycoses are rarely studied. Research on House Sparrow populations in urban areas shows a high incidence of fungal colonization, especially by Candida krusei. Adults are more likely to be colonized by fungi than juveniles, with correlations between fungal presence and bird age, physiological condition, and haemoglobin levels. No significant differences in fungal colonization between urban and rural areas were found.

Hanna Kwasna et al.

Summary: In 2017, a large area of hybrid poplar plantation in northern Poland showed symptoms of tree decline. Fungal sequencing analysis revealed a diverse range of fungi present in the soil and wood, some of which may be causing the disease. The susceptibility of the trees is influenced by factors such as water deficit and climate warming.

Ruifang Mi et al.

Summary: Yeasts are important in fermented meats, and a study on Chinese Dong fermented pork identified various yeast species with different technological properties. Specific yeast strains showed lipolytic and proteolytic activities, with Saccharomyces cerevisiae demonstrating meat protein hydrolysis. Inoculation of selected yeast strains enhanced volatile production in simulated fermented sausage conditions, suggesting potential as aroma enhancers.
