The yeast Saccharomyces uvarum is commonly used in cider and wine fermentation but its natural history has been poorly studied. In a recent work published in Nature Communications, we revealed that the Northern Hemisphere population of S. uvarum has likely derived from a highly diverse South American population. Interestingly, most of the Holarctic strains associated with human-driven fermentations display multiple introgressions from other Saccharomyces species and over-representation of genes relevant for wine fermentation. Such findings constitute a first indication of domestication in S. uvarum.

Our international collaborative research into Saccharomyces eubayanus diversity appears on the April cover of Molecular Ecology. This work confirmed that S. eubayanus, one of the parents of the hybrid lager-brewing yeast, is indeed native and well-established in Patagonia (South America). This species, which seems to have found its way 500 years ago to the caves and monastery cellars of Bavaria (Europe), was now found for the first time in nature in North America (Wisconsin, USA). Interestingly, these rare isolates have a low diversity and a mosaic genetic makeup resulting from the admixture of two distinct Patagonian populations, which suggest that they are recent migrants.

January 2014

A recent phylogeographic study by Márcia-David Palma and lead by José Paulo Sampaio revealed that the population structure of the astaxanthin-producing yeast Phaffia rhodozyma

results from the adaptation to different niches (host trees). It was also uncover that Australasia is a diversity hotspot for Phaffia suggesting that the genus evolved originally in this region. The paper was recently published in Molecular Ecology.

June 2013

PLoS Genetics featured research on our latest paper concerning a single fungal fructose transporter gene that seems to have been horizontally transferred between fungi very often; these events may be related to the fact that the gene can be both very useful and detrimental for the host, depending on genetic background and environment.

August 2011

Our paper concerning the genetics roots of lager beer appears on the cover of PNAS. In this report we uncover the genetic identity of a cold-tolerant yeast species named Saccharomyces eubayanus, which colonizes the stromata of the fungus Cyttaria (pictured) in Patagonia, Argentina. This long-sought partner of the ale-yeast gave rise to a domesticated, hybrid species used to brew lager beer. Image courtesy of Diego Libkind.

The sexual state of Rhodotorula fujisanensis was uncovered and characterized by means of mating studies. Pictured in the cover of IJSEM is a germinated teliospore with stalked basidium and basidiospores of Curvibasidium cygneicollum, a species described as the sexual state of R. fujisanensis.

Highlighted Article

The tetrapolar system, in which mating is dictated by two alternate sets of MAT genes at genetically unlinked regions, has been proposed to be the ancestral state in basidiomycete fungi. Support for this model has however been gathered only from two more recently derived lineages. In this paper recently published in Genetics, we used whole-genome sequencing, chromoblot analysis and mating tests to show that Leucosporidium scottii, a basidiomycete yeast belonging to the earliest-branching lineage, has a tetrapolar system governed by two physically unlinked gene clusters: a multiallelic homeodomain (HD) locus and a biallelic pheromone/receptor (P/R) locus, a finding that strongly reinforces tetrapolarity as the ancestral state.

In this paper, recently published in Molecular Ecology, we analyze whole genome sequences of 145 strains of S. cerevisiae to understand the population genomic structure and the ancestral demography of domesticated wine strains and newly identified oak-associated lineages from Europe and Asia. By analysing the relationship between the wine group a heretofore uncovered oak-associated Mediterranean S. cerevisiae population we found that this new population contains the wild genetic stock that gave rise to the domesticated wine yeasts.

October 2015

In this paper, recently published in Molecular Biology and Evolution, we examined the evolutionary history of a unique family of fungal sugar facilitators (Ffz-like), which seem to have emerged recently from a larger family of drug antiporters, and are required for fructophilic metabolism in yeasts. A combination of phylogenetic and in vivo functional analyses allowed us to retrace important changes in function, while highlighting HGT as a key evolutionary mechanism for the onset of fructophily in about 100 yeast species that thrive in sugar rich environments.
