Rhodotorula yeasts were isolated from various local sources in Damascus, Syria, during 2012 and 2013. Fifty isolates (23 from leaves trees, 13 from different soils, 6 from different meats, 6 from dairy products, 1 pickle and 1 traditional sweet) were identified using API 20C AUX system. Isolated yeasts were classified into three Rhodotorula species: R. mucilaginosa, R. glutinis and R. minuta re...

Synthetic fungicides are commonly employed for the control of postharvest diseases of fruits. However, due to health concerns about the use of these chemicals, alternative control methods including biocontrol based on antagonistic yeasts are gaining in popularity. In this study, we investigated the effects of two biocontrol yeasts, Rhodotorula mucilaginosa strain 3617 and Rhodotorula kratochvil...

INTRODUCTION In the Canadian province of Alberta access and quality of stroke care were suboptimal, especially in remote areas. The government introduced the Alberta Provincial Stroke Strategy (APSS) in 2005, an integrated strategy to improve access to stroke care, quality and efficiency which utilizes telehealth. RESEARCH QUESTION What is the process flow and the structure of the care pathwa...

Exopolysaccharides (EPSs) are important biopolymers with diverse applications such as gelling compounds in food and cosmetic industries bio-flocculants pollution remediation bioplastics production. This research focuses on enhancing crude EPS production from Rhodotorula mucilaginosa sp. GUMS16 using the central composite design method which five levels of process variables sucrose, pH, ammonium...

Due to the overexploitation of industrial fisheries, as principal source fish oil, well increasing replacement synthetic pigments for animal nutrition, we need find sustainable sources these essential nutrient productions. Marine Rhodotorula strains NCYC4007 and NCYC1146 were used determine biosynthesis docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) carotenoids by biotransforming raw glycerol, a waste product biod...

In industry, the yeast Rhodotorula mucilaginosa is commonly used for the production of carotenoids. The production of carotenoids is important because they are used as natural colorants in food and some carotenoids are precursors of retinol (vitamin A). However, the identification and molecular characterization of the carotenoid pathway/s in species belonging to the genus Rhodotorula is scarce ...

Here we report of summary of the characteristics of 'Collinsella phocaeensis' strain Marseille-P3245T sp. nov., 'Clostridium merdae' strain Marseille-P2953T, 'Sutterella massiliensis' strain Marseille-P2435T sp. nov., 'Sutturella timonensis' strain Marseille-P3282T sp. nov., 'Enorma phocaeensis' Marseille-P3242T sp. nov., 'Mailhella massiliensis' strain Marseille-P3199T gen. nov., sp. nov., 'Mo...

OBJECTIVES To define the dimensions of the frontal sinus in groups standardized for age and gender and to discuss the reasons and the effects of the variations. Methods: Frontal sinus measurements were obtained from paranasal CTscans of 180 males and 180 females in the Radiology Department of Dursun Odabas Medical Center of Yuzuncu Yil University, Van, which is located in Eastern Turkey, betwee...

Vegetable sample procured from local markets of Tamil Nadu were used in this study to isolate pigments producing bacteria. Red pigment bacteria were isolated and developed into nutrient media. Morphological observations revealed that the isolated bacteria are Gram Negative, cocci and biochemical characterization was carried out and isolated are identified as Rhodotorula sp. Maximum production o...
