Heat resistance of Byssochlamys ascospores.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ascospores from 25 strains of Byssochlamys were studied for their ability to resist heat treatment in a standard defined medium. Seven of these were able to survive heating at 90 degrees C for 25 min or longer, when initial numbers were frequently near 10(6)/ml. Ascospores from five resistant strains suspended in the medium at pH 5.0 were usually more resistant than those at pH 3.6. Rapid heat inactivation occurred for one strain at pH 6.6. Nonlogarithmic heat death rate was observed in all strains tested.

Thermal inactivation of Byssochlamys nivea in pineapple juice combined with preliminary high pressure treatments
Byssochlamys nivea is a thermal resistant filamentous fungi and potential micotoxin producer. Recent studies have verified the presence of ascospores of such microorganism in samples of pineapple nectars and juices. Although the majority of filamentous fungi have limited heat resistance and are easily destroyed by heat, Byssochlamys nivea ascospores have shown high thermal resistance. The aim o...

متن کاملSexual reproduction as the cause of heat resistance in the food spoilage fungus Byssochlamys spectabilis (anamorph Paecilomyces variotii).
Paecilomyces variotii is a common cosmopolitan species that is able to spoil various food- and feedstuffs and is frequently encountered in heat-treated products. However, isolates from heat-treated products rarely form ascospores. In this study we examined by using molecular techniques and mating tests whether this species can undergo a sexual cycle and form ascospores. The population structure...
متن کاملEnumeration of byssochlamys and other heat-resistant molds.
Methods for the detection of low numbers of heat-resistant molds on fruits were studied by using cultures of Byssochlamys and a number of unidentified mold isolates. Ascospore dormancy had a marked effect on viable recoveries, and the medium in which ascospores were heated influenced activation rates. Best results were obtained when fruit homogenates were heated for 60 min at 70 C in Concord gr...
متن کاملFunctionality and prevalence of trehalose-based oligosaccharides as novel compatible solutes in ascospores of Neosartorya fischeri (Aspergillus fischeri) and other fungi
Ascospores of Neosartorya, Byssochlamys and Talaromyces can be regarded as the most stress-resistant eukaryotic cells. They can survive exposure at temperatures as high as 85°C for 100 min or more. Neosartorya fischeri ascospores are more viscous and more resistant to the combined stress of heat and desiccation than the ascospores of Talaromyces macrosporus which contain predominantly trehalose...
