Special topic: Fructose fermentation and assimilation by yeasts
+---------------------------------------------------------------------
There are much more than 1,500 described yeast species, about a half
of which belongs to Ascomycota. More than 70% of ascomycetous yeast
species has an ability of ethanol fermentation. Sugars utilized for
ethanol fermentation by yeasts vary from species to species, which has
been regarded as 'personality' (namely salient characteristics of
phenotype). For example, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a star yeast
species for scientific researches, can utilize glucose, maltose, and
sucrose for ethanol fermentation, but not lactose.
Species identification of yeasts has been done by recognizing such
phenotypic differences since the dawn of yeast taxonomy. Thanks to the
history of yeast taxonomy, 'personal information' of yeast species
(data of the abilities to ferment and assimilate various kinds of
carbon and nitrogen sources) has long been accumulated. Unfortunately,
however, very few 'personal information' regarding fructose, a very
common sugar in nature, was not available until recently.
In order to obtain the missing information, we examined 388 strains of
yeast stocked in RIKEN BRC-JCM, mainly belonging to the
Saccharomycetes (Saccharomycotina, Ascomycota), determining whether
they can assimilate/ferment fructose by conventional methods using
liquid medium. As the results, all strains examined assimilated
fructose, whereas 302 (77.8%) of them fermented fructose. These
results strongly suggest that the ability to assimilate/ferment
fructose is a universal phenotype among yeasts in the Saccharomycetes.
We might miss out such a fundamental 'personal information' which
would enhance the utility of yeasts as bioresources.
But, why? Why have the ‘personal information’ regarding abilities to
assimilate/ferment fructose by yeasts long been neglected? During the
course of searching reasons, we had been faced with the unexpected
historical background...

Lists of JCM strains released
+---------------------------------------------------------------------
Lists of JCM strains have been released. The lists are available for
all prokaryotes (i.e., Bacteria and Archaea) and for some individual
groups, such as Archaea, Lactic acid bacteria, and Yeasts. Using the
lists, JCM strains could be concentrated based on taxonomic names of
higher ranks, medium numbers, growth temperatures, etc. The lists
will be helpful in selecting and ordering JCM strains.
