Article Synopsis
- Researchers sequenced the genomes of 97 strains of the yeast Saccharomycopsis fibuligera, which is important for Chinese liquor production, to explore its genetic diversity.
- They identified four main genetic lineages, with one containing 60 homozygous strains that are smaller in size and less diverse, while the other three lineages are heterozygous and more diverse with larger genomes.
- Although there were significant gene variations between lineages, no major differences in enzyme activity or growth patterns were found, except for higher glucoamylase activity in the homozygous strains.
Reported are the synthesis and structural characterization of a new series of ternary rare-earth mix-chalcogenides RESTe (RE = Gd, Ho, Er, Tm) that have been obtained from high-temperature solid state reactions. These compounds crystallize in HoSTe structure types with monoclinic C2/ m and/or orthorhombic Immm space groups. The space group variation within this series is due to the position disorder along the Te plane (Te to TeA and TeB).
