Differentiation of Enzyme Coagulants on Casein-Agar Gels

Differentiation of Candida dubliniensis on chrom agar and Pal's agar.

Difference in expression of putative virulence factors and in antifungal susceptibility among different Candida species has raised the need for species-level identification. The close relationship of Candida dubliniensis with C. albicans has led to misidentification of C. dubliniensis isolates as C. albicans. Phenotypic tests include ability to produce chlamydospore on casein agar, colony colou...

Instrumental Texture Parameters and Solvation Characteristics of Mixed Casein Gels

Caseins exhibit a wide range of physicochemical and functional properties that make them an excellent source of protein for the creation of formulated foods, either as novel or imitative products. Their ability to gel suggests their potential use in highly valued imitative products, such as Kamaboko, a surimi product. However, gelation and the resultant textural properties can be enhanced by va...

Rigid Gels and Enzyme Cleaning

Hydrolytic enzymes and polysaccharidebased rigid gels represent two very helpful cleaning tools for a variety of polychrome artworks: moveable paintings, wooden polychrome sculptures, paper and library materials, and in some instances mineral or inorganic supports. In addition, they can be used for other tasks that are not, strictly speaking, the cleaning of a painted surface, but rather more s...

Differentiation of Candida dubliniensis from Candida albicans on rosemary extract agar and oregano extract agar.

Candida dubliniensis is a recently described pathogenic species which shares many phenotypic features with Candida albicans and therefore, may be misidentified in microbiological laboratories. Because molecular methods can be onerous and unfeasible in routine mycological laboratories with restricted budgets such as those in developing countries, phenotypic techniques have been encouraged in the...
