Yeasts in Continental and Seawater

  • First Online:
Yeasts in Natural Ecosystems: Diversity

Abstract

Even though yeasts are normal inhabitants of almost any type of aquatic environment, in comparison to other type of substrates, relatively little research has been carried out on the factors affecting their biodiversity and distribution patterns. The distinction of a yeast species as transient or resident element of an aquatic habitat has long been challenging and has been one of the main difficulties in the study of yeast diversity in, for example, continental lakes and rivers. The present chapter will provide an overview of our current knowledge on yeast diversity and ecology in continental freshwater and marine environments; in particular habitats like tropical and temperate rivers and lakes, seawater, and glacial melting water bodies will be reviewed. Water temperature and trophic state are major factors determining the yeast community composition in water bodies, and as they get more extreme due to the increase of stress factors such as cold temperatures, UV radiation, and scarce nutrient availability, the prevalence of basidiomycetous yeast gets more notorious. As a result of the evolutionary adaptation to extreme conditions, certain biotechnologically relevant traits became evident in extremophilic aquatic yeasts such as the production of carotenoid pigments, UV sunscreens, extracellular cold-adapted enzymes, etc.
