The paper expands a previous finding of a correlation between glucose uptake rates and cell surface area-to-volume ratio across 11 yeast species to 282 species, finding additional correlations with genome size and growth rate.

The paper identifies convergent evolution of aerobic fermentation in yeasts through divergent genetic mechanisms affecting shared glycolytic genes.

The paper discovers three novel ancient whole genome duplications in Saccharomycotina yeasts, suggesting WGD may be more common in fungi than previously thought.

This study uses machine learning to identify gene families associated with oxidative stress resistance in yeasts and validates their roles experimentally.

This study shows that glutathione metabolism in Cryptococcus neoformans affects virulence by modulating redox processes and melanin production in a murine infection model.
