Abstract

Fructophily has been described in yeasts as the ability to utilize fructose preferentially when fructose and glucose are available in the environment. In and , fructophilic behaviour has been associated with the presence of a particular type of high-capacity and low-affinity fructose transporters designated Ffz. In this study, a PCR screening was performed in several yeasts using degenerate primers suitable to detect -like genes. In parallel, fructophilic character was evaluated in the same strains by comparing the relative consumption rate of fructose and glucose. For all the strains in which -like genes were detected, fructophilic behaviour was observed (25 strains). Results show that genes are ubiquitous in the and clades. Strains of and were not fructophilic and did not harbour genes. It is of note that these new species were recently removed by taxonomists from the clade, supporting the view that the presence of -like genes is a main characteristic of . Among the strains tested, only NCYC2380 was an exception, having a preference for fructose in medium with high sugar concentrations, despite no -like genes being detected in the screening. Furthermore, this study supports the previous idea of the emergence of a new family of hexose transporters (Ffz facilitators) distinct from the Sugar Porter family.
