Resumen:
Yeasts are microscopic fungi inhabiting all Earth environments,
including those inhospitable for most life forms, considered extreme
environments. According to their habitats, yeasts could be
extremotolerant or extremophiles. Some are polyextremophiles, depending
on their growth capacity, tolerance, and survival in the face of their
habitat's physical and chemical constitution. The extreme yeasts are
relevant for the industrial production of value-added compounds, such as
biofuels, lipids, carotenoids, recombinant proteins, enzymes, among
others. This review calls attention to the importance of yeasts
inhabiting extreme environments, including metabolic and adaptive
aspects to tolerate conditions of cold, heat, water availability, pH,
salinity, osmolarity, UV radiation, and metal toxicity, which are
relevant for biotechnological applications. We explore the habitats of
extreme yeasts, highlighting key species, physiology, adaptations, and
molecular identification. Finally, we summarize several findings related
to the industrially-important extremophilic yeasts and describe current
trends in biotechnological applications that will impact the bioeconomy.
