Surface antigens of Saccharomyces cerevisiae protoplast were visualized immunocytochemically with protein A-gold or ferritin conjugated antibodies. Ferritin particles were densely distributed at the surface of yeast protoplast after treatment with rabbit anti-protoplast serum and ferritin conjugated antibody against rabbit IgM. Control experiments demonstrated that the binding of these ferritin...

BACKGROUNDS: Optimization of microbial compositions and load in live food during the process of bioencapsulation is one of the most important concerns in aquaculture, as it can promote the growth and feeding parameters of fish larvae. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to determine the growth and feeding performance of Persian sturgeon larvae fed with bioencapsulated D. magna with Saccharomy...

Murine monoclonal subunit-specific antibodies against heterooctameric phosphofructokinase-1 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae exhibiting no cross-reactivity were purified and characterized regarding complex formation with the native enzyme, immunological reactivity to the SDS-denatured subunits originating from native and proteolytically truncated phosphofructokinase, and protection against proteol...

Nucleo-mitochondrial interactions, particularly those determining the primary divergence of biological species, can be studied by means of xenomitochondrial cybrids, which are cells where the original mitochondria are substituted by their counterparts from related species. Saccharomyces cerevisiae cybrids are prepared simply by the mating of the ρ(0) strain with impaired karyogamy and germinati...

Nowadays, the increasing interest in new market demand for alcoholic beverages has stimulated research on useful strategies to reduce ethanol content beer. In this context, use of non-Saccharomyces yeasts produce low-alcohol or alcohol-free beer may provide an innovative approach market. our study, four wild yeasts, belonging Torulaspora delbrueckii, Candida zemplinina and Zygosaccharomyces bai...


 Rice wine is an alcoholic beverage of cereal produced as a result fermentation rice by selected yeasts isolated from different substrates. In this study the effects starter cultures on physico-chemical and sensory properties were investigated. The belong to six genera these are Saccharomyces, Kluveromyces, Schizosaccharomyces, Candida, Rhodotorula Geotrichum. species included S. cerevisi...

Here, we report the draft genome sequence of Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain GUJ105, isolated clinically. The size of the genome is approximately 11.5 Mb and contains 5,447 protein-coding genes.

A procedure is given for the insolubilization of yeast mannan by entrapment in a polyacrylamide gel. Specific anti-mannan antibodies were separated by immunosorption from all other antibodies of a rabbit antiserum against whole, Formalininactivated Candida utilis cells. Colloidal gold coated with the anti-mannan and anti-non-mannan antibody fractions was used for the ultrastructural visualizati...
