cold-adapted yeasts as producers of cold-active polygalacturonases.	eight cold-adapted, polygalacturonase-producing yeasts belonging to four species were isolated from frozen environmental samples in iceland. they were identified as cystofilobasidium lari-marini, cystofilobasidium capitatum, cryptococcus macerans and cryptococcus aquaticus species by sequence analysis of rdna regions. growth behavior of the isolates was investigated. all strains could grow at 2 degrees c. addition of glucose to pectin-containing culture medium had a repressive effect on enzyme p ...	2003	12768449
cystofilobasidium lacus-mascardii sp. nov., a basidiomycetous yeast species isolated from aquatic environments of the patagonian andes, and cystofilobasidium macerans sp. nov., the sexual stage of cryptococcus macerans.	here, we report on two novel sexual basidiomycetous red yeast species of the genus cystofilobasidium. cystofilobasidium lacus-mascardii sp. nov. is based on sexually compatible strains isolated from lake mascardi, an ultraoligotrophic lake in north-western patagonia, argentina. following the discovery of the first isolate of this species, additional (sexually compatible) strains were isolated using a selective medium containing erythritol as the sole source of carbon. the second novel species co ...	2009	19244450
