The genus currently contains 10 species that are typically found in various natural terrestrial environments in temperate and tropical climates. Here we employ taxogenomic analyses to investigate a large collection of <i>Torulaspora</i> strains obtained in multiple surveys we carried out in Asia, Australasia, North America, South America, and Europe, and to which we added several strains maintained in culture collections. Our analyses detected twelve novel species that are formally described here, thereby more than doubling the species diversity of <i>TorulasporaPersoonia265-283https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC12308288biostudies-literatureA taxogenomic view of the genus <i>Torulaspora</i>: an expansion from ten to twenty-two species.PMC12308288Carriconde FSilva MRGroenewald MHofmann TASylvester KSampaio JPPontes AAires ALegras JLBrito PHParaiso FJarzyna MLachance MAAl-Oboudi JBarros KOLangdon QKRosa CAGoncalves PLibkind DAbegg MOpulente DAHittinger CTFell JWfalseA taxogenomic view of the genus <i>Torulaspora</i>: an expansion from ten to twenty-two species.The yeast genus <i>Torulaspora</i> (subphylum <i>Saccharomycotina</i>, family <i>Saccharomycetaceae</i>) is mostly known from its type species, <i>T. delbrueckii</i>, a frequent colonizer of wine and sourdough bread fermentations.
