Cellular Fatty Acid of Soy Yeasts and Osmophilic Yeasts

Antagonism between osmophilic lactic Acid bacteria and yeasts in brine fermentation of soy sauce.

Brine fermentation by osmophilic lactic acid bacteria and yeasts for long periods of time is essential to produce a good quality of shoyu (Japanese fermented soy sauce). It is well known that lactic acid fermentation by osmophilic lactic acid bacteria results in the depression of alcoholic fermentation by osmophilic yeasts, but the nature of the interaction between osmophilic lactic acid bacter...

Fatty Acid Composition of Cane Molasses and Yeasts

Lipid extract and fatty acid composition of cane molasses and yeasts (Saccharomyces cerevisiae M-300A and Saccharomyces uvarum IZ-1904) grown in molasses medium were determined. In molasses, linoleic acid was found in higher levels (around 42%) and was followed by palmitic, oleic and linolenic acids. The lipid extract varied from 1.02 to 3.13 gkg. In yeasts, the level of lipid extract varied fr...

Analysis of cellular adhesion between lactic acid bacteria and yeasts

Fatty acid composition of cold-adapted carotenogenic basidiomycetous yeasts.

We studied fatty acids (FAs) profiles in six carotenoid-producing yeast species isolated from temperate aquatic environments in Patagonia. Total FAs ranged from 2 to 15% of dry biomass. Linoleic, oleic, palmitic and alpha-linolenic acids were the major FAs constituents, which accounted for as much as 40%, 34%, 13% and 9% of total FAs, respectively. The proportion of each FA varied markedly depe...

Identification of some yeasts by fatty acid profiles.

178 yeasts isolated from various foods were identified using ID32 C strip; Saccharomyces cerevisiae (47), Rhodotorula mucilaginosa (19), Candida kefyr (33), Candida krusei (37), Candida lusitaniae (28), Cndida lipolytica (14). The yeasts were harvested, saponified, derivatized, and extracted, and fatty acid analysis was performed by Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry. The yeast lipids contain...
