| scheffersomyces parashehatae f.a., sp. nov., scheffersomyces xylosifermentans f.a., sp. nov., candida broadrunensis sp. nov. and candida manassasensis sp. nov., novel yeasts associated with wood-ingesting insects, and their ecological and biofuel implications. | during a survey of yeasts associated with wood-ingesting insects, 69 strains in the scheffersomyces clade and related taxa were isolated from passalid and tenebrionid beetles and the decayed wood inhabited by them. the majority of these yeasts was found to be capable of fermenting xylose, and was recognized as scheffersomyces stipitis or its close relative scheffersomyces illinoinensis, which are known to be associated with wood-decaying beetles and rotten wood. yeasts in 'scheffersomyces' ( = c ... | 2013 | 24014624 |
