This book presents an up-to-date review of the ecology of yeast
communities in natural ecosystems. It focuses on their biological
interactions, including mutualism, parasitism, commensalism and
antagonistic interactions, and is closely connected with the volume
Yeasts in Natural Ecosystems: Diversity by the same editors. Yeasts
are the smallest eukaryotic organisms successfully growing under a
wide range of environmental conditions. They constantly modify the
environment through their own metabolic activities. Although yeasts
are among the earlier colonizers of nutrient-rich substrates, their
role in ecosystem processes is not limited to the consumption and
transformation of simple sugars. They also engage in close
relationships with animals, plants and other fungi in the
environment as mutualists, competitors, parasites and pathogens.
This book reviews the diversity of biological interactions and
roles of yeasts in ecosystems and summarises recent concepts and
tools developed in community ecology. All of the chapters were
written by leading international yeast research experts, and will
appeal to researchers and advanced students in the field of
microbial ecology.
