| cavernicolous habitats harbouring cryptococcus neoformans: results of a speleological survey in apulia, italy, 1999-2000. | twenty-five caves of speleological and palaeontological interest were investigated for the presence of cryptococcus spp. within the apulia region of italy. five hundred and forty-five specimens of soil, mud, animal faeces, water and decayed animal and plant remains were examined. faecal specimens from bats, pigeons and foxes in three caves yielded cryptococcus neoformans var. neoformans and c. laurentii, c. neoformans var. neoformans and c. albidus were isolated from two soil specimens. only thr ... | 2003 | 14653523 |
| biodiversity and safety aspects of yeast strains characterized from vineyards and spontaneous fermentations in the apulia region, italy. | this work is the first large-scale study on vineyard-associated yeast strains from apulia (southern italy). yeasts were identified by internal transcribed spacer (its) ribotyping and bioinformatic analysis. the polymorphism of interdelta elements was used to differentiate saccharomyces cerevisiae strains. twenty different species belonging to 9 genera were identified. predominant on the grape surface were metschnikowia pulcherrima, hanseniaspora uvarum and aureobasidium pullulans, whereas m. pul ... | 2013 | 24010615 |
