two yeast isolates, a4 and a5 of candida membranifuciens and one isolate, a6 of pichia guilliermondii were tested either separately or in mixture for their effectiveness against apple gray mold, caused by botrytis cinerea pres.: fr. as regards the compatibility of the biocontrol agents, it was shown that yeast isolates were compatible with each other in liquid media. results of the experiments ...

The ability to grow at mammalian body temperatures is critical for pathogen infection of humans. For the thermally dimorphic fungal pathogen Histoplasma capsulatum, elevated temperature is required for differentiation of mycelia or conidia into yeast cells, a step critical for invasion and replication within phagocytic immune cells. Posttranslational glycosylation of extracellular proteins char...

    Sucrose hydrolysis was carried Out by Saccharomyces strains. The effective rate of reaction was examined experimentally for 5 different Saccharomyces strains. Two Strains of Schizosaccharomyces and Saccharomyces Carlsbergensis showed the best invertase activity. These two strains showed Michaelien Kinetics in the sucrose concentration up to 0.2 M and inhibitory effect in the concentration b...

Background: All aerobically growing organisms suffer from exposure to oxidative stress, caused by partially reduced forms of molecular oxygen, known as reactive oxygen species (ROS). These are highly reactive and capable of damaging cellular constituents such as DNA, lipids and proteins. Consequently, cells from many different organisms have evolved mechanisms to protect their components...

Yeast studies usually focus on exploring diversity in terms of a specific trait (such as growth rate, antibiotic resistance, or fertility) among extensive strains. Microfluidic chips improve these biological manner high throughput and efficiency. For population study yeast, it is great significance to set proper initial cell density for every strain under circumstances. Herein, we introduced no...

Jujube production is threatened by jujube witches’ broom (JWB) disease, which caused JWB phytoplasma. The TCP transcription factor (TF) ZjTCP16 may be involved in the interaction of plants with In this study, qRT-PCR proved that expression pattern was altered gene functions were analyzed its overexpression Arabidopsis and jujube, as well knock-down in. resulted dwarfism small leaves, while zjtc...

Brewery wastewater (BWW) is an appealing low-cost substrate for the production of single cell oils by oleaginous microorganisms. However, it may contain inhibitor compounds that affect microbial metabolism. This work investigated, first time, presence potential in primary brewery (PBWW) and secondary (SBWW) pure mixed cultivation yeast Rhodosporidium toruloides NCYC 921 microalga Tetradesmus ob...

The fundamental mechanism of olfactory receptor activation has been conserved from yeast to humans. Engineered yeast cells can smell some of the same odorants as humans can, which makes yeast an ideal model system for studying human olfaction. Furthermore, if engineered yeast cells are incorporated into sensory arrays, they can be used as biosensors or artificial noses.
