emissions," says team leader and first author Ayumi Tanimura of KyotoU's Society Academia Collaboration for Innovation.
The diversity of yeast species in Japan reflects the latitudinal range of the Japanese archipelago. Shiga prefecture's diverse biomes—hydrosphere, forests, and—and highly variable climate encourage this diversity. Tanimura promotes continuing efforts to search for new microbial resources in unexplored areas.
Focusing on the soil of Shiga Prefecture, Tanimura's team conducted DNA analyses and physiological, morphological, and biochemical characterization tests that supported the identification of the two Hannaella species. Culture tests next verified them as oleaginous yeasts, which can take up xylose to produce oil from plant biomass such as rice straw.
