BACKGROUND Yeast surface display is a technique, where the proteins of interest are expressed as fusions with yeast surface proteins and thus remain attached to the yeast cell wall after expression. Our purpose was to study whether allergens expressed on the cell surface of baker's yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae preserve their native allergenic properties and whether the yeast native surface gl...

It has been known for some time that maturation-promoting factor (MPF) appears in a wide variety of eukaryotic cells at M phase and exerts equal M-phase-promoting activity in both meiotic cells and mitotic cells in a non-specific manner. MPF was extracted from cdc20 mutant cells of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae synchronized at M phase by incubation at the restrictive temperature. When inje...

The human commensal yeast Candida albicans is pathogenic and results in a variety of mucosal deep tissue problems when the host immunocompromised. exhibits enormous metabolic flexibility dynamic morphogenetic transition to survive under niche environmental conditions cause virulence. amino sugar N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) available at infection sites, apart from acting as an extremely good ca...

Laccase and bilirubin oxidase were successfully displayed on the surface of yeast cells. Subsequently, these modified yeast cells were used in the cathode compartment of a microbial fuel cell. The performance of the fuel cells is compared.
