agrobacterium tumefaciens is capable to transfer genes across kingdoms. it can genetically transform not only plant cells, but also many other bacterial, algal, fungal, animal and human cells. this depends on the interactions among a variety of both agrobacterium and host genes. inside the host cell, rad52 which is involved in dna repair is a key gene determining integration of t-dna by homolog...

A feeding trial with twenty-seven male weaned Zandi lambs (initial body weight 27.1±0.38 kg) was conducted to evaluate the effect of different levels of Saccharomyces cerevisiae SC47 in diet containing high concentrate (85%) on the growth performance, blood parameters and immune system status. Lambs were allocated to one of three treatment diets in a completely randomized design with 3 replicat...

The aim of the present study was to determine various types of hemocytes, total and differential hemocyte count and to show some indices of phagocytosis, including percent phagocytosis and phagocytic index in Indian white shrimp, Fenneropenaeus indicus in Iranian shrimp farms. The hemolymph was extracted from the shrimps and mixed with anticoagulant. It then stained and Yeast was added as forei...

Responsible for plasma membrane structure maintenance in eukaryotic organisms, sterols are essential yeast development. The role of two sterol sources Saccharomyces cerevisiae during wine fermentation is highlighted this review: ergosterol (yeast produced by cells under aerobic conditions) and phytosterols (plant imported from grape musts the absence oxygen). These compounds responsible cell vi...

Vitamin D deficiency causes osteoporosis, osteopenia, fractures, rickets and more recently is linked with some chronic illnesses such as cancer. Because of the safety and probiotic properties of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, we hypothesized that yeast cells enriched with cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) could represent a solution for prevention or treatment of vitamin D deficiency. In this st...

The objective was to evaluate the technological processing (protection strategies and storage conditions) influence on viability, probiotic properties adsorbent aflatoxin B1 capacity of S. boulardii RC009. Also, yeast biological safety evaluated. Lyophilisation (DL) encapsulation ​+ ​lyophilisation (EL) were conducted. Yeast protected with maltodextrin (M) or WPC stored at 4 ​°C reduced 1 2 log...

background and objectives : the attempts were made to describe the development of a whole cell immobilization of p. pastoris by entrapping the cells in polyacrylamide gel beads. the alcohol oxidase activity of the whole cell pichia pastoris was evaluated in comparison with yeast biomass production. materials and methods : methylotrophic yeast p. pastoris was obtained from collection of standard...
