This study was done to produce γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) from wild yeast as well as investigate its anti-hyperglycemic effects. Among ten GABA-producing yeast strains, Pichia silvicola UL6-1 and Sporobolomyces carnicolor 402-JB-1 produced high GABA concentration of 134.4 µg/mL and 179.2 µg/mL, respectively. P. silvicola UL6-1 showed a maximum GABA yield of 136.5 µg/mL and 200.8 µg/mL from S. c...

Torulene and torularhodin represent the group of carotenoids and are synthesized by yeasts and fungi. The most important producers of these two compounds include yeasts of Rhodotorula and Sporobolomyces genera. The first reports confirming the presence of torulene and torularhodin in the cells of microorganisms date to the 1930s and 1940s; however, only in the past few years, the number of work...

Currently, malignant diseases are one of the leading causes mortality worldwide. Antarctic yeasts represent a poorly explored source novel bioactive compounds with antineoplastic activity and expected favourable toxicological profile. The aim work was evaluation antiproliferative proapoptotic potential extracts obtained from psychrophilic strain Sporobolomyces roseus AL103. Data MTT dye reducti...
