Histone deposition proteins CAF-1 and Asf-1 impact multiple aspects of chromosome formation and are essential in yeast to prevent DNA damage and avoid chromosomal rearrangement. Using fractionated yeast cell extracts, this MQP attempted to identify stimulatory factors which are necessary and sufficient for histone deposition by CAF-1 and/or Asf1. Identification of these cofactors, would provide...

BACKGROUND: Oropharyngeal candidiasis is a common infection in patient receiving radiotherapy for head and neck cancer. Accurate and rapid identification of candida species is very important in clinical laboratory, because the incidence of candidiasis continues to rise after radiotherapy. The genus Candida has about 154 species that show different level of resistance to antifungal drugs and hav...

Because of the high energy consumption for fermentor cooling, the isolation of thermo-tolerant Acetobacter strains for vinegar production has a high priority. The aims of this study were the isolation and identification of a high ethanol-thermo-tolerant Acetobacter spp. from grapes as well as the optimization of conditions for increasing the acetic acid production. The grape e...

Cloning of Saccharomyces cerevisiae genomic DNAs that complement yeast mutations includes (i) screening of genomic DNA library clones by complementation and (ii) identification of the DNA regions essential for the complementation ability. Since commonly used yeast genomic DNA libraries made on YEp-type (2) or YCptype (6) plasmids harbor about 10 kb of yeast chromosomal DNA, the inserted yeast D...

background: genital tract infections are one of the most common causes of referring to obstetrics clinics. the most common agents of genitalia infection are yeast ( candida ) and parasite ( trichomonas ). establishment of fungal and parasitic infections needs many factors such as social, cultural and hormonal factors. methods: in order to determine candidial infection in the patients with leuco...

This study was designed to determine the effects of storage condition and period on mold-yeast, aflatoxin, E. coli O157 in wet sugar beet pulp (WSBP). For this aim, samples were taken from first production WSBP factory (Control) newly packaged sacks packaging company (Packaged Control). Afterwards, additional two stored as (Packaged) surrounded by a nylon cover outside near barn (Non-packaged) ...

OBJECTIVES To compare two identification methods, i.e., restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP)-PCR analysis and enzymatic method Rapid TM Yeast Plus System to identify different species causing vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC). MATERIALS AND METHODS Vaginal discharges of women who had attended the gynecology outpatient clinic of Mobini Hospital in Sabzevar, Iran were collected using co...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Trichosporon is a genus of anamorphic basidiomycetous yeast which is widely distributed in nature and is found in tropical and temperate areas. The aim of this work was to study the isolation, identification and molecular analysis of Trichosporon species in soil. MATERIALS AND METHODS In order to isolate and identify Trichosporon species in soil, 30 samples were collect...
