Rhodotorula glutinis as an antagonism show good biocontrol performance against various post-harvest diseases in fruits. In the present study, strong attachment capability of R. glutinis to spores and hyphae of Botrytis cinerea was observed. Further analysis showed that certain protein components on the yeast cell surface played critical role during the interaction between R. glutinis and B. cin...

objective(s): carotenoids which are naturally synthesized by fungi such as yeasts can act as an antioxidant which is closely related to their ability to decrease the risk of a variety of degenerative diseases. in recent years, the increase of demand for carotenoids obtained from natural sources has promoted major efforts to improve carotenoid production from biological sources such as pigmented...

A cytochrome P450 was purified from microsomes of Rhodotorula minuta. The optical spectrum of the purified cytochrome was characteristic of a low-spin ferric heme protein. Isovalerate caused a type I spectral change in it. The amino-terminal sequence of the cytochrome was different from those of other known microsomal cytochrome P450s. These results indicate that the cytochrome, which is tentat...

Numbers in the parentheses represent relative activity to inhibit rat liver HMG-CoAreductase. The present communication deals with sensitivity of the growth of yeast strains to compactin. Of approximately 300 strains tested, 4 strains, Rhodotorula glutinis H3-9-1, Sporobolomyces salmonicolor WF 188, Aessosporon salmonicolor IFO 1845 and Citeromyces matritensis IFO 0954, were found to be sensiti...

A new species of Candida was isolated from sphagnum litter overlying a peat bog. It was non-fermenting and assimilated glucose, sucrose, maltose, lactose, galactose and potassium nitrate. The proposed name is Candida mmcorum. A new Rhodotorula species, which i t is proposed to name R. graminis, was isolated from the leaves of pasture grasses. Cultures on solid media were reddish pink and fluid ...

The phenylalanine biosynthetic pathway in the yeast Rhodotorula glutinis was examined, and the following results were obtained. (i) 3-Deoxy-D-arabinoheptulosonate-7-phosphate (DAHP) synthase in crude extracts was partially inhibited by tyrosine, tryptophan, or phenylalanine. In the presence of all three aromatic amino acids an additive pattern of enzyme inhibition was observed, suggesting the e...
