Identification and phylogeny of ascomycetous yeasts from analysis of nuclear large subunit (26S) ribosomal DNA partial sequences

TL;DR: Divergence in the variable D1/D2 domain of large subunit (26S) ribosomal DNA is generally sufficient to resolve individual species, resulting in the prediction that 55 currently recognized taxa are synonyms of earlier described species.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of clinically important ascomycetous yeasts based on nucleotide divergence in the 5' end of the large-subunit (26S) ribosomal DNA gene.

TL;DR: Of the 204 described species examined, 21 appeared to be synonyms of previously described organisms, and the relationships among the species are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biodiversity and systematics of basidiomycetous yeasts as determined by large-subunit rDNA D1/D2 domain sequence analysis.

TL;DR: The molecular systematics of 337 strains of basidiomycetous yeasts and yeast-like fungi, representing 230 species in 18 anamorphic and 24 teleomorphic genera, was determined by sequence analysis of the D1/D2 region of the large-subunit rDNA.

Pyruvate Metabolism in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

TL;DR: In yeast, pyruvate is located at a major junction of assimilatory and dissimilatory reactions as well as at the branch-point between respiratory dissimilation of sugars and alcoholic fermentation as mentioned in this paper.

Towards industrial pentose-fermenting yeast strains

TL;DR: This review summarizes recent research aiming at developing industrial strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae with the ability to ferment all lignocellulose-derived sugars with the potential of pentose fermentation in improving lignOcellulosic ethanol production.
