The latest work to come out of our Wild YEAST program is in preprint! Nearly 2,000 isolates analyzed (1,445 newly published) to broaden our window into the distribution and habitats of diverse yeasts.

10 years since the discovery of the wild parent of lager brewing yeasts, we now know much more about this mysterious S. eubayanus. With over 200 isolates we show extensive natural diversity & potential geographic distribution of it in our new paper!

Thank fungi for cheese, wine and beer this holiday season via @ConversationUS -covering recent, great work from @HittingerLab, @KevinVerstrepen, & @LupoLabs; animal & plant domestication are far better known, but #fungi (& microbes) are the unsung heroes! https://t.co/KK0oJbdvaY

Bread. Yeast. Wine. Cheese. All these delicious foods are courtesy of various forms of domesticated fungi. So how, exactly, did humans tame wild fungi into the cooperative species that make our food?

We're excited our @NatureEcoEvo on fermentation hybrids is out https://t.co/abmot5lVWU Amazing work from @HittingerLab members @QuinnLangdon, @djperis, @EmilyBa01004142, & others. Next time you have a cold fermented beverage thank the yeast's wild parents! https://t.co/HPpS2bzdN7

A new trove of genomic data could allow researchers to develop novel features in fermented beverages, an industry worth hundreds of billions of dollars.

Luz Maria Dalmau was a mycologist at the University of Puerto Rico in the early 1900s. She developed a method to study hyphae & pseudohyphae in yeasts which now known as “Dalmau’s plate”. She was the assistant to the Colonel Bailey K. Ashford. #WildYeastWedneday #WomenInMycology

This week we are highlighting Dr. Heide-Marie Daniel from UCLouvain. She does innovative work in molecular taxonomy of yeasts. In 2014, the genus Danielozyma was described it has two species that were isolated from insect frass! #WildYeastWednesday photo Yeast: A Taxonomic Study

Under her leadership, the Westerdijk Institute increased its culture count from 80 to 10000 with 6000 unique species!!

Johanna Westerdijk became the first female professor in the Netherlands in 1917. She was the director of what is now the largest microbial fungal resource center in the world. She was a phytopathologist who studied Dutch Elm Disease. #WomenInMycology #mycology #WomenInScience

There are many amazing women who were & are in mycology. We are going to highlight some of them over the next few weeks. #WomenInMycology #WomeninScience #Yeast #Fungi #Mycology

This is Blastobotrys serpentis the first isolate of it came from the intestine of a dead Trinket snake in India. #Blastobotrys #WildYeastWednesday #taxonomy #evolution #ecology #yeast

Over the next few weeks #WildYeastWednesday we will be focusing on favorite genera of @HittingerLab members. The genus #Blastobotrys is a favorite of @DOpulente . First up for this genus is Blastobotrys robertii. It was first isolated from Scotch Pine in the Netherlands. #yeast

Our #WildYeastWednesday this week is Blastobotrys illinoisensis. You can see an awesome image of it taken by @DOpulente and Amanda Hulfachor on the cover of @Yeast_Journal. This yeast was isolated from the base of a dead tree in Illinois by. #yeast #ecology #sciart #taxonomy

A few weeks ago @Dopulente posted this very festive yeast! We have identified it as Apiotrichum laibachii. This yeast is in the phylum Basidiomycota that is frequently found in dung. #WildYeastWednesday #Yeast #ecology #taxonomy

We figured out how many scientists it takes to fix a microscope light bulb! So we are back with more #WildYeastWednesday. This is Candida boidinii, it was first isolated from tanning fluid in Spain . It uses methanol as a carbon source & maybe associated with fruit flies. #yeast
