Rhodosporidium diobovatum sp. n., the Perfect Form of an Asporogenous Yeast ( Rhodotorula sp.)

Rhodosporidium diobovatum sp. n., the perfect form of an asporogenous yeast (Rhodotorula sp.).

New direct evidence of the relationship between the yeast form genus Rhodotorula and heterobasidiomycetous fungi is presented, namely, a new species of the heterobasidiomycetous genus Rhodosporidium with a rhodotoruloid yeast phase. The new species has the Rhodosporidium life cycle but differs significantly from, and is not interfertile with, described species of the genus. It was isolated from...

Metabolism of 4-Chloronitrobenzene by the Yeast Rhodosporidium sp.

The yeast Rhodosporidium sp. metabolized 4-chloronitrobenzene by a reductive pathway to give 4-chloroacetanilide and 4-chloro-2-hydroxyacetanilide as the major final metabolites. The intermediate production of 4-chloronitrosobenzene, 4-chlorophenylhydroxylamine, and 4-chloroaniline was demonstrated by high-pressure liquid chromatography. Additional studies with selected metabolites established ...

Drug susceptibility of 64 strains of Rhodotorula sp.

Rhodotorula sp. have emerged as opportunistic pathogens, particularly in immunocompromised patients. Knowledge about the susceptibility of Rhodotorula strains to the common antifungal drugs is essential for the treatment of such new infections. The 68 isolates identified as: Rhodotorula mucilaginosa (47 strains; 69%), R. minuta (14; 21%) and R. glutinis (7; 10%) obtained from various sources (f...

A Filterable Yeast-like Microorganism (schizosaccharomyces Filtrans, N. Sp.)

A microorganism cultivated in the course of experiments with the virus of hog cholera shows the following points of interest. It is pleomorphic in extreme degree. Among the forms are coccoid and bacillary bodies at the lower limits of visibility. The culture can be completely regenerated after filtration through some Berkefeld N filters although these retain Bacillus abortus (Bang). The culture...
