Total DNA preparation excluding extracellular acidic polysaccharide from Lipomyces yeasts and its application to taxonomic studies.

چکیده
A preparation method of total DNA from Lipomyces yeasts was improved in order to exclude extracellular acidic polysaccharide thoroughly. The method combined an ultracentrifuge and polyethylene glycol precipitation with the usual method. The total DNAs obtained were analyzed for G + C content and by DNA-DNA hybridization. The results all agreed almost completely with literature data. All the DNA samples prepared using this method were pure enough for these taxonomic analyses and could also be used as templates of PCR for amplification of small subunit ribosomal DNA and the internal transcribed spacer region.

Fatty alcohol production in Lipomyces starkeyi and Yarrowia lipolytica
BACKGROUND Current biological pathways to produce biofuel intermediates amenable to separations and catalytic upgrading to hydrocarbon fuels are not cost effective. Previously, oleaginous yeasts have been investigated primarily for lipid production. However, yeasts store neutral lipids intracellularly making recovery difficult and expensive. In addition, once recovered from the cells, lipids ar...
متن کاملPhylogeny of yeasts and related filamentous fungi within Pucciniomycotina determined from multigene sequence analyses.
In addition to rusts, the subphylum Pucciniomycotina (Basidiomycota) includes a large number of unicellular or dimorphic fungi which are usually studied as yeasts. Ribosomal DNA sequence analyses have shown that the current taxonomic system of the pucciniomycetous yeasts which is based on phenotypic criteria is not concordant with the molecular phylogeny and many genera are polyphyletic. Here w...
متن کاملSingle Cell Oil Producing Yeasts Lipomyces starkeyi and Rhodosporidium toruloides: Selection of Extraction Strategies and Biodiesel Property Prediction
Single cell oils (SCOs) are considered potential raw material for the production of biodiesel. Rhodosporidium sp. and Lipomyces sp. are good candidates for SCO production. Lipid extractability differs according to yeast species and literature on the most suitable method for each oleaginous yeast species is scarce. This work aimed to investigate the efficiency of the most cited strategies for ex...
متن کاملApplication of Acidic Ionic Liquid as a Solvent/Catalyst for Preparation of α-Oximinoketones from β-Dicarbonyl Compounds
The selective nitrosation of β-dicarbonyl compounds with sodium nitrite was carried out under1-methyl-3-carboxymethylimidazolium chloride, prepared from N-methylimidazole andchloroacetic acid, as an acidic ionic liquid. The reaction was found to proceed under relativelymild conditions with excellent conversion and selectivity. The ionic liquid was recycled andreused.
متن کاملProduction of Ginsenoside-Rg3 from Lipomyces starkeyi Grown on Ginseng-Steaming Effluent
To produce ginsenoside-Rg3 enriched yeast from ginseng-steaming effluent (GSE), Lipomyces starkeyi, which tends to grow well in GSE, was cultured in sterilized GSE and its growth and production of ginsenoside-Rg3 were determined. Growth of L. starkeyi was 86.1 mg per g GSE and its ginsenoside-Rg3 contents was 0.013 mg per g GSE.
