Unveiling the diversity, ecology, and biotechnological potential of culturable marine yeasts in Western Mediterranean coastal ecosystems (2026) · IMA Fungus · doi
Marine yeasts represent an underexplored yet ecologically and biotechnologi- cally relevant component of marine microbiomes, contributing to organic matter degradation, nutrient cycling, and microbial interactions (Kutty and Philip 2008; Zaky et al. Nevertheless, spatiotemporal studies integrating both wa- ter- and sediment-associated communities in Mediterranean coastal systems remain scarce.

Unveiling the diversity, ecology, and biotechnological potential of culturable marine yeasts in Western Mediterranean coastal ecosystems (2026) · IMA Fungus · doi
The study of marine yeasts is challenging due to their minor yet ecologically significant component of marine microbiomes. The existence of strictly obligate marine yeasts remains unsubstantiated. The development of new strategies for the conservation and management of marine ecosystems is complex and requires consideration of multiple factors.

Unveiling the diversity, ecology, and biotechnological potential of culturable marine yeasts in Western Mediterranean coastal ecosystems (2026) · IMA Fungus · doi
Further studies are needed to investigate the biotechnological and medical applications of marine yeasts. The development of new strategies for the conservation and management of marine ecosystems should consider the diversity of marine yeasts. Future research should focus on the ecological roles of marine yeasts in different environments.
