The toxic effect of NaCl and KCl on growth of the marine yeast Debaryomyces hansenii on glucose or glycerol was studied. Above a threshold value, both salts reduced the specific growth rate, specific glucose and glycerol respiration rates and specific glucose fermentation rate, as well as biomass yields. The exponential inhibition constant, k, and minimum toxic concentration, Cmin were similar ...

OBJECTIVES Candida famata (also known as Debaryomyces hansenii and Torulopsis candida) is a commensal yeast found in cheese, dairy products and the environment. C. famata accounts for 0.2%-2% of invasive candidiasis. The purpose of this study was to provide an overview of the treatment of C. famata bloodstream infections. METHODS The clinical course of two hospitalized patients who developed ...

The KHA1 gene from Debaryomyces hansenii has been identified and characterized by heterologous expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The gene is orthologous to ScKHA1, previously reported in S. cerevisiae, and on the basis of the deduced amino acid sequence, DhKha1p can be classified as an Na(+)/H(+) transporter. Reverse transcriptase (RT)-PCR experiments indicated that the expression level o...

Background Reconstruction and applications of genome scale metabolic models have truly influenced the field of systems biology [1,2]. These models have a promising ability to describe cellular phenotypes accurately and to relate the annotated genome sequence to the physiological functions of a cell [3,4]. Gluconacetobacter has been extensively characterized and is a model system for cellulose b...
