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).

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 (…

Our new paper was, by definition, an adventure: stepping outside of our comfort zone, embracing the unknown, and engaging in activities where the outcome is uncertain. Includes discovery of a new species and working with a Native American tribe to name it… 🧵👇

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.
