1 Saccharomycotina and Taphrinomycotina: The Yeasts and Yeastlike Fungi of the Ascomycota

  • Chapter
Systematics and Evolution

Part of the book series: The Mycota ((MYCOTA,volume 7B))

Abstract

The phylum Ascomycota has been resolved into three major phylogenetic lineages: the subphyla Saccharomycotina (e.g., Saccharomyces, Pichia, Candida), Taphrinomycotina (e.g., Protomyces, Taphrina, Pneumocystis), and Pezizomycotina (e.g., Aspergillus, Neurospora, Peziza). We discuss the ecology, physiology, molecular biology, biotechnology, phylogeny, and systematics of Saccharomycotina and Taphrinomycotina, which represent the yeasts and yeastlike fungi of Ascomycota. Major changes in all aspects of our knowledge of these two subphyla have resulted from molecular studies, and the focus of the chapter is on these changes and their impact on present and future applications of the yeasts.
