This minireview summarizes the present state of knowledge concerning the importance of yeasts in fish gut. Yeasts have been commonly isolated in the gastrointestinal tract, and high population densities were sometimes noted in healthy fish, but the data were quite variable in terms of colony counts and taxonomical diversity. Rhodotorula sp. seemed relatively frequent in both marine and freshwat...

We identified putative long terminal repeat- (LTR) retrotransposon sequences among the 50,000 random sequence tags (RSTs) obtained by the Génolevures project from genomic libraries of 13 Hemiascomycetes species. In most cases additional sequencing enabled us to assemble the whole sequences of these retrotransposons. These approaches identified 17 distinct families, 10 of which are defined by fu...

Debaryomyces hansenii is traditionally described as a halotolerant non-conventional yeast and has served model organism for the study of osmotolerance salt tolerance mechanisms in eukaryotic systems past 30 years. However, unraveling D. hansenii's biotechnological potential always been difficult due to persistent limitations availability efficient molecular tools this yeast. Additionally, there...
