in this study, the effect of carbon and nitrogen sources, on production of yeast biomass was determined as well as the efficacy of various formulations of candida membranifaciens to decrease blue mold on apple. the media containing sugar cane molasses as carbon sources caused more yeast growth than the media supplemented with permeate powder. yeast extract as nitrogen source produced higher bio...

This study examined the effect of ingesting 3 isocaloric meals with different glycemic indices (GI) and glycemic loads (GL) 2 hr before exercise on metabolic responses and endurance running performance. Eight male runners completed 3 trials in a randomized order, separated by at least 7 days. Carbohydrate (CHO) content (%), GI, and GL were, respectively, 65%, 79, and 82 for the high-GI/high-GL ...

Both lactic acid productivity and cell growth were linearly correlated with yeast extract supplementation in batch fermentation. During conventional continuous operation, although fresh feed was introduced into the bioreactor with a significantly low dilution rate (0.04 h(-1)), the amount of yeast extract employed was not enough to maintain the growth of microorganism. However, when the fresh f...

We have cloned a rat homologue of the Drosophila recessive oncogene lethal (2) giant larvae from rat brain by RT-PCR using primers prepared from sequences conserved amongst lgl family genes. Sequence analysis predicts that the rat rgl-1 gene encodes a 1,036 amino acid polypeptide with a molecular weight of approximately 112 kDa, which contains a domain characteristic of WD-40 proteins. Northern...

Changes in essential oil composition of peppermint (Mentha x piperita L.) affected by yeast extract and salicylic acid foliar application

Production of extracellular amylase was demonstrated under conditions of high salinity in aerobically cultivated culture of a newly isolated moderately halophilic Gram-positive coccus, designated strain F in basal medium containing peptone from meat, yeast extract, NaCl (7% w/v) and starch. Biochemical and physiological characterization along with 16S rRNA sequence analysis placed F in the genu...

A newly isolated fungus Aspergillus niger SOI017 was shown to be a good producer of β-glucosidase from all isolated fungal strains. Fermentation condition (pH, cellobiose concentration, yeast extract concentration, and ammonium sulfate concentration) was optimized for producing the enzyme in shake flask cultures. Response surface methodology was used to investigate the effects of 4 fermentation...

production of extracellular amylase was demonstrated under conditions of high salinity in aerobically cultivated culture of a newly isolated moderately halophilic gram-positive coccus, designated strain f in basal medium containing peptone from meat, yeast extract, nacl (7% w/v) and starch. biochemical and physiological characterization along with 16s rrna sequence analysis placed f in the genu...

Polyvinyl alcohol-degrading enzymes (PVAases) have a great potential in bio-desizing processes for its low environmental impact and low energy consumption. In this study, the effect of yeast extract on PVAases production was investigated. A strategy of four-point yeast extract addition was developed and applied to maximize cell growth and PVAases production. As a result, the maximum dry cell we...

Sinorhizobium meliloti is usually cultured in rich media containing yeast extract. It has been suggested that some components of yeast extract are also required for growth in minimal medium. We tested 27 strains of this bacterium and found that none were able to grow in minimal medium when methods to limit carryover of yeast extract were used during inoculation. By fractionation of yeast extrac...
