We compared the recovery of yeasts from clinical specimens cultured on routine bacteriological media to the recovery of yeast from specimens cultured on a selective fungal medium (Sabouraud agar). The use of Sabouraud agar was especially important in cases of mixed cultures, since in such cases yeast was recovered on bacteriological media from only 50% of 44 yeast-positive pus specimens and fro...

abstract these days, scientsts search for cheap protein sources because of growthing of population.one of these sources is single cell protein.this study deals with single cell protein production process by saccharomyces cerevisiae and saccharomyces carlsbergensis .these yeast are known as the most ideal and practical eukaryotic microorganism in biological studies. in this survey we added the w...

Bread enriched with chromium has been associated improved glycemic control. The purpose of this study was the production a bread (Cr III) -enriched yeast which maintained overall quality. A formulation French prepared using an inactive Cr III for comparison against control made standard yeast. Yeast fermentation power and color texture were evaluated. There no differences in (crumb crust) or fi...

The cell cycle of the fission yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, does not easily lend itself to analysis by flow cytometry, mainly because cells in G(1) and G(2) phase contain the same amount of DNA. This occurs because fission yeast cells under standard growth conditions do not complete cytokinesis until after G(1) phase. We have devised a flow cytometric method exploiting the fact that cells i...

Schizosaccharomyces pombe shares many genes and proteins with humans and is a good model for chromosome behavior and DNA dynamics, which can be analyzed by visualizing the behavior of fluorescently tagged proteins in vivo. Performing a genome-wide screen for changes in such proteins requires developing methods that automate analysis of a large amount of images, the first step of which requires ...

The beverage industry has been a heavy producer of organic pollution. The major contaminants found in waste are biodegradable organic compounds, volatile organic compounds, toxic metals, and recalcitrant xenobiotics, suspend solids, nutrients (Nitrogen and Phosphor) Microbial pathogens and parasites. Activated sludge flocs contain a wide range of microorganisms such as bacteria, Fungi, yeast, v...

The C-C bond formation is an important reaction in organic synthesis to obtain value-added intermediates. Therefore, in this paper an attempt has been made to accelerate the Henry reaction (C-C bond formation) between aryl aldehydes and nitromethane using less expensive whole cell biocatalyst, baker’s yeast (BY). The scope of the methodology was also tested for the heteryl aldehyde i.e. 2-chlor...

Introduction Conjugation between two haploid yeast cells is generally controlled by the reciprocal action of diffusible mating factors, cells of each mating type releasing peptide pheromones that induce mating-specific changes in cells of the opposite type. The pheromones bind to specific receptors at the surface of their target cell and binding initiates a series of intracellular events that l...

Rod-shaped fission yeast cells grow in a polarized manner, and unlike budding yeast, the correct positioning of the growth sites at cell ends requires interphase microtubules. Here we describe a microtubule guidance mechanism that orients microtubules in the intracellular space along the long axis of the cell, guiding them to their target region at the cell ends. This mechanism involves tip1p, ...

Fission yeast cells tolerate the total absence of the cdc25 mitotic inducer in two cases, either in cdc2-3w or in wee1 genetic backgrounds. In the cdc2-3w cdc25Delta double mutant, the rate-limiting step leading to mitosis is reaching a critical size. However, the size control of this mutant operates in late G2, which is different from wild-type (WT) cells. This fact suggests that in WT the rat...
