Methylotrophic yeast Candida boidinii enhances the colonization of plant growth-promoting yeast Papiliotrema laurentii in the phyllosphere

Kana Shigeta, Kosuke Shiraishi, Moritz Schroll, Rebekka Lauer, Frank Keppler, Yasuyoshi Sakai, Hiroya Yurimoto

This study shows that the methylotrophic yeast Candida boidinii enhances the colonization of the plant growth-promoting yeast Papiliotrema laurentii on Arabidopsis thaliana leaves through metabolic cooperation.

P-body formation is required for yeast proliferation in the phyllosphere

Fuka Sekioka, Kosuke Shiraishi, Mikio Akagi, Akari Habata, Yumi Arima, Yasuyoshi Sakai, Hiroya Yurimoto

This study shows that P-body formation is essential for yeast proliferation in the phyllosphere by protecting methanol-induced mRNAs from degradation.

Methanol chemoreceptor MtpA- and flagellin protein FliC-dependent methylotaxis determines the spaciotemporal colonization of PPFM in the phyllosphere

Shiori Katayama, Kosuke Shiraishi, Kanae Kaji, Kazuya Kawabata, Naoki Tamura, Akio Tani, Hiroya Yurimoto, Yasuyoshi Sakai

The paper shows that PPFMs use MtpA chemoreceptors and FliC flagellins for methanol-driven movement, enabling their spatial colonization on plant surfaces.
