RESUMEN
The yeasts Cryptococcus albidus (Naganishia albida) usually occur on natural substrates and rarely are the etiological factor of different mycoses. More than a half of mycosis cases described in the literature were reported during the period from 2004 to 2021. In this regard, evaluation of yeast sensitivity to antimycotic drugs is as important as their identification. In the present study, two yeast isolates from the skin of female patients (age 7 and 74 years) with infective dermatitis (ICD-10-CM Code L30.3) were studied. Common identification of the isolates, MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, and analysis of the nucleotide sequences of the ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 rDNA region showed that they belong to the species N. albida. The sensitivity of the obtained strains to antimycotics of three different chemical groups, namely itraconazole, naftifine, and amphotericin B, determined by microdilution method in a synthetic medium showed the following minimum inhibitory concentrations: 64-128, 16, and 0.125-4 µg/ml, respectively. It was found that the sensitivity of this yeast to pooled human serum was 30-47%, i.e. lower by 1.9-2.9 times than the sensitivity of the collection strains of C. albicans and C. neoformans. This result could be explained by lower prevalence of N. albida in the human population in comparison with these species. However, the sensitivity of N. albida strains to the low-molecular-weight fraction of serum was approximately the same as in C. albicans and C. neoformans, which indicates their high sensitivity to antimicrobial peptides.

RESUMEN
The ability of model animal species, such as Drosophila melanogaster, to adapt quickly to various adverse conditions has been shown in many experimental evolution studies. It is usually assumed by default that such adaptation is due to changes in the gene pool of the studied population of macroorganisms. At the same time, it is known that microbiome can influence biological processes in macroorganisms. In order to assess the possible impact of microbiome on adaptation, we performed an evolutionary experiment in which some D. melanogaster lines were reared on a food substrate with high NaCl concentration while the others were reared on the standard (favourable) substrate. We evaluated the reproductive efficiency of experimental lines on the high salt substrate three years after the experiment started. Our tests confirmed that the lines reared on the salty substrate became more tolerant to high NaCl concentration. Moreover, we found that pre-inoculation of the high salt medium with homogenized salt-tolerant flies tended to improve reproductive efficiency of naïve flies on this medium (compared to pre-inoculation with homogenized control flies). The analysis of yeast microbiome in fly homogenates revealed significant differences in number and species richness of yeasts between salt-tolerant and control lines. We also found that some individual yeast lines extracted from the salt-tolerant flies improved reproductive efficiency of naïve flies on salty substrate (compared to baker's yeast and no yeast controls), whereas the effect of the yeast lines extracted from the control flies tended to be smaller. The yeast Starmerella bacillaris extracted from the salt-tolerant flies showed the strongest positive effect. This yeast is abundant in all salt-tolerant lines, and very rare or absent in all control lines. The results are consistent with the hypothesis that some components of the yeast microbiome of D. melanogaster contribute to to flies' tolerance to food substrate with high NaCl concentration.

The disc diffusion technique was applied to test sensitivity to anti-mycotics of 15 strains of fungi genus Candida separated from natural substrates and 25 clinical isolates. The fungi were of species C. albicans, C. glabrata, C. guilliermondii, C. parapsilosis, C. tropicalis.The high sensitivity of clinical isolates to Fluconazole, Nystatin, Сlotrimazole, Itraconazole, Amphotericin Bwas established, except strains C. glabrata 5 and C. tropicalis 4 demonstrating average level of sensitivity. The high sensitivity to anti-mycotics of strains separated from natural samples was demonstrated except 4 resistant strains C. parapsilosis. It can be supposed that up to one forth of natural strains of fungi genus Candida can have resistance to antibiotics, bringing to various forms of mycotic affections.
RESUMEN
Yeast abundance and species diversity of endophytic complexes in galls (cecidia) formed on the leaves of Salix fragilis, Salix caprea, Quercus robur, Tilia cordata, and Ulmus laevis and the epiphytic yeast communities of undamaged leaves of these plants were studied. Dynamics of yeast abundance in the galls was significantly different from that of the epiphytic yeast communities. Maximum numbers of endophytic yeast cells in the galls (up to 104 CFU/g) were comparable to abundance of epiphytic yeasts. A total of 14 species of endophytic yeasts were isolated from galls of different plants. Ascomycetous yeasts were found to predominate in the insect galls on willows and oak, while basidiomycetous yeasts dominated in mite galls on linden and elm, as well as on plant leaves. These results indicate that gall formation may be considered not only as a bidirectional pathological process of the interaction between plants and invertebrates, but also as a process in which the endophytic microbial population of the galls plays an important role.

Yeast abundance and species diversity on the surface and in inner tissues of Malus domestica and Pyrus communis fruits under high anthropogenic impact in the city of Moscow (Russia) were studied. Results demonstrated that abundance of epiphytic yeasts on the fruits increased gradually, reaching the maximum of 3.2 × 104 CFU/g on mature fruits. During summer, abundance of endophytes did not change significantly (variation near 2.5 × 10³ CFU/g) until complete maturation, while in September their numbers increased to 104 CFU/g. Basidiomycetous yeasts (Filobasidium wieringae, F. magnum, Rhodotorula glutinis, and Rhodosporidiobolus colostri) predominated on the fruit surface. Ascomycetous species were the most diverse group inside the fruits, which quantitatively increased through maturation. It was found that the share of opportunistic species Candida parapsilosis in internal tissues was significant during the entire period of fruit formation and development under anthropogenic impact in the city. Specific properties of epiphytic and endophytic yeast communities developing in natural ecological niches under synanthropic conditions and anthropogenic impact are discussed.

Yeast abundance and species diversity in the colonies of Formica aquilonia ants in birch-pine forbs forest, Novosibirsk oblast, Russia, was studied. The average yeast number in the anthill material was 10³-104CFU/g, reaching 105 CFU/g in the hatching chambers. Typical litter species (Trichosporon monilfiforme and Cystofilobasidium capitatum) were predominant in soil and litter around the anthills. Apart from these species, ascomycete species of the family Debaryomycetaceae, Debaryomyces hansenii and Schwanniomyces vanrijiae, were predominant in the anthill material. Yeast population of the ants consisted exclusively of the members of these two species. Thus, highly specific yeast communities formed in the colonies of Formica aquilonia ants differ from the communities of surrounding soil. These differences are an instance of environment-forming activity of the ants.

Yeast abundance and species diversity in the latex of caoutchouc tree Hevea brasiliensis (Willd. ex Juss.) M611. Arg., on its green leaves, and in soil below the plant Was studied. The yeasts present in the fresh latex in concentrations of up to 5.5 log(CFU/g) were almost exclusively represented by the species Candida heveicola, which was previously isolated from Hevea latex in China. In the course of natural modification of the latex yeast diversity increased, while yeast abundance decreased. The yeasts of thickened and solidified latex were represented by typical epiphytic and ubiquitous species: Kodamea ohmeri, Debaryomyces hansenii, Rhodotorula mucilaginosa, and synanthropic species Candida parapsilosis and Cutaneotrichosporon arbori- formis. The role of yeasts in latex modification at the initial stages of succession and their probable role in de- velopment of antifungal activity in the latex are discussed.

Long-term studies of yeast species diversity in the vineyards of the Republic of Dagestan using various isolation techniques and various substrates in the vertical tier dynamics revealed 38 species. The most diverse species complex including -80% of the isolated species was formed on the berries. A list of 160 yeast species isolated from grapes, spontaneously fermented fresh juice, and other vineyard substrates was compiled using the results of the present work and the literature data on yeast occurrence. Analysis of generalized data revealed considerable similarity in the taxonomic composition of yeasts from different countries and continents and made it possible to shift from the genus to the species characterization of the grape-associated yeast community.

Resistance of 14 yeast species belonging to different ecological groups to extensive storage in a dried state was investigated. Pedobiotic yeasts isolated mainly from the soils of humid areas (Cryptococcus podzolicus, Cr. terricola, and Lipomyces starkeyi) were the least resistant. The yeasts associated with the nectar of entomophilous plants (Metschnikowia reukaufii and Candida bombi) also exhibited low resistance to drying. Complete death of these species occurred during the first month of storage. Eurybiotic species from various environments (Cryptococcus magnus, Cryptococcus victoriae, Debaryomyces hansenii, and Cryptococcus wieringae) were somewhat more resistant. Pigmented plant-associated yeasts (Rhodotorula mucilaginosa and Sporobolomyces roseus), as well as the pathogenic or opportunistic Candida strains (C. albicans and C. parapsilosis), were the most resistant to drying. Thus, occurrence of yeasts in natural habitats is closely associated with their ability to survive prolonged drying.

Families and genera assigned to Tremellomycetes have been mainly circumscribed by morphology and for the yeasts also by biochemical and physiological characteristics. This phenotype-based classification is largely in conflict with molecular phylogenetic analyses. Here a phylogenetic classification framework for the Tremellomycetes is proposed based on the results of phylogenetic analyses from a seven-genes dataset covering the majority of tremellomycetous yeasts and closely related filamentous taxa. Circumscriptions of the taxonomic units at the order, family and genus levels recognised were quantitatively assessed using the phylogenetic rank boundary optimisation (PRBO) and modified general mixed Yule coalescent (GMYC) tests. In addition, a comprehensive phylogenetic analysis on an expanded LSU rRNA (D1/D2 domains) gene sequence dataset covering as many as available teleomorphic and filamentous taxa within Tremellomycetes was performed to investigate the relationships between yeasts and filamentous taxa and to examine the stability of undersampled clades. Based on the results inferred from molecular data and morphological and physiochemical features, we propose an updated classification for the Tremellomycetes. We accept five orders, 17 families and 54 genera, including seven new families and 18 new genera. In addition, seven families and 17 genera are emended and one new species name and 185 new combinations are proposed. We propose to use the term pro tempore or pro tem. in abbreviation to indicate the species names that are temporarily maintained.
RESUMEN
Yeast abundance and diversity in a mixed forest sod-podzol soil under Impatiens parviflora DC plants was studied in comparison with unimpaired aboriginal herbaceous plants typical of the Mid-Russian secondary, after-forest meadow. The study was carried out throughout the vegetation period. Standard microbiological plating techniques revealed 36 yeast species. Typical pedobiotic (Cryptococcus podzolicus, Wickerhamomyces anomalus) and eurybiotic yeast species (Rhodotorula mucilaginosa) predominated in both biotopes. The relative abundance of the autochthonous soil yeast species Cryptococcus podzolicus was higher in the soil under aboriginal herbs than under Impatiens parviflora. Sites with aboriginal vegetation were also characterized by high abundance of the pedogamous species Schwanniomyces castelli and Torulaspora delbrueckii. The share of yeastlike Trichosporon fungi with high hydrolytic activity was considerably higher under adventitious plants Impatiens parviflora, as well as in the previously studied soil under Heracleum sosnowskyi.

Many species of dimorphic basidiomycetes are known only in their asexual phase and typically those pigmented in different hues of red have been classified in the large polyphyletic genus Rhodotorula. These yeasts are ubiquitous and include a few species of some clinical relevance. The phylogenetic distribution of Rhodotorula spans three classes: Microbotryomycetes, Cystobasidiomycetes and Exobasidiomycetes. Here, the presented multi-gene analyses resolved phylogenetic relationships between the second largest group of Rhodotorula and the mycoparasite Cystobasidium fimetarium (Cystobasidiales, Cystobasidiomycetes, Pucciniomycotina). Based on the results, we propose the transfer of nine species belonging to the Rhodotorula minuta clade into the genus Cystobasidium. As a result, the clinically relevant species R. minuta will be renamed Cystobasidium minutum. This proposal follows ongoing reassessments of the anamorphic genus Rhodotorula reducing the polyphyly of this genus. The delimitation of the R. minuta clade from Rhodotorula species comprised in Sporidiobolales including the type species Rhodotorula glutinis is an important step to overcome obsolete generic placements of asexual basidiomycetous yeasts. Our proposal will also help to distinguish most common red yeasts from clinical samples such as members of Sporidiobolales and Cystobasidiales. The diagnosis of the genus Cystobasidium is amended by including additional characteristics known for the related group of species. The taxonomic change enables us to classify two novel species with the phylogenetically related members of the R. minuta clade in Cystobasidium. The recently from natural environments isolated species are described here as Cystobasidium psychroaquaticum f.a. sp. nov. (K-833(T) = KBP 3881(T) = VKPM Y-3653(T) = CBS 11769(T) = MUCL 52875(T) = DSM 27713(T)) and Cystobasidium rietchiei f.a. sp. nov. (K-780(T) = KBP 4220(T) = VKPM Y-3658(T) = CBS 12324(T) = MUCL 53589(T) = DSM 27155(T)). The new species were registered in MycoBank under MB 809336 and MB 809337, respectively.

The intertidal yeast communities inhabiting various environments in the territories of the White Sea Biological Station "Kartesh" (WSBS ZIN RAS) and the N.A. Pertsov White Sea Biological Station (WSBS MSU) were studied. A total of 31 yeast species were isolated using a conventional plating technique and identified using molecular methods. The yeast community of the White Sea intertidal zone consists of members that are typical for marine substrates, ubiquist species that are common in water and in low-temperature terrestrial environments, and a group of species that was isolated from marine substrates for the first time. The most diverse yeast communities formed on the surface of marine algae and in silt. Metschnikowia zobellii, which is a typical inhabitant of northern seas, was the most abundant yeast on algae from both biological stations. A new basidiomycetous yeast species, which was described in this work as Glaciozyma litorale sp. nov., dominated in the silt samples. The type strain of this new species is K94b(T) (=KBP 4246(T) = VKPM Y-3850(T) = PYCC 6252(T) = CBS 12957(T) = DSM 28204(T)); MycoBank registration number is MB 805475.

Long-term microbiological investigation of the pollen of silver birch (Betula pendula) in the Mos- cow, and Moscow region areas revealed that: almost one-third of the analyzed samples, contained the fungus identified by morphological, cultural, and molecular genetic techniques as Quambalaria cyanescens (de Hoog & G. A. de Vries) Z.W. de Beer, Begerow & R. Bauer. This species was previously known mostly as a syrmbiont of tropical plants of the generaEucalyptus and Cortyminbia and has not been isolated in Russia. We revealed a close association between Quambalaria cyanescens and silver birch. The micromycete was regulaly detected in pollen samples, as well as on the.inside and outside of the aments, on the surface of leaves and branches. It was never isolated from other plant species in the investigated area. The data on the morphological and cultural characteristics of the fungus, its cell ultrastructure, and occurrence are presented, as well as the phylogenetic analysis of the isolated strains.

The fungus Fusarium sp. isolated from saline soil was identified by the ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 and the D1/D2 domains of LSU RNA as a member of the Fusarium incarnatum-equiseti species group. Its growth patterns on media with different NaCl concentrations indicated its adaptation as halotolerance. The mechanisms of halotolerance included accumulation of arabitol a five-atom noncyclic polyol, a decreased sterols/phospholipids ratio, elevated level of phosphatidic acids in the phospholipids, and increased unsaturation of phospholipids, which was especially pronounced in the idiophase. The mechanisms of halotolerance of the mycelial fungus Fusarium sp. are discussed in comparison with yeasts and yeastlike fungi.
