A new study out with @linder-surprise.bsky.social and @rokaslab.bsky.social in iScience across ~300 yeast species confirms the correlation between glucose uptake rate and cell surface-to-volume (SA:V) ratio, but suggests a link to other traits (growth rates and genome size). doi.org/10.1016/j.is...

A trait syndrome ties cell morphology to glycolysis across the yeast subphylum
Co-variation of traits provides fundamental insights into constraints governing their evolution. An inverse correlation between glucose uptake rates (…

Comparative Analysis of Stress Adaptation in the Yeast Microbiome of Cactus
Yeasts and related fungi isolated from cacti or nearby non-cactus plants were characterized phenotypically and genomically, revealing differences that hint at modes of adaptation to the cactus host.
