Wild yeasts as a model for climate research | Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation Wild yeasts live in the forests all around us. Yet, little is known about the role they play in ecosystems. They can be used to develop new beer and bread flavors, but wild yeast can also serve as a u...

One of our main sponsors, the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation, has published a nice article about our work. Yay to fundamental research! @kawresearch.bsky.social kaw.wallenberg.org/en/research/...

Fermentative yeast diversity at the northern range limit of their oak tree hosts Fermentative yeasts play important roles in both ecological and industrial processes but their distribution and abundance in natural environments is not well understood. We investigated the diversity ...

Check our preprint. Here we explore the diversity of yeast in Scandinavia, isolated from Oak bark. This work provides a baseline for future studies on the impact of climate change on the microbial biodiversity of temperate forests in northern latitudes. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
