| inhibition of potentially pathogenic yeastlike fungi by clotrimazole in combination with 5-fluorocytosine or amphotericin b. | clotrimazole (ctm) has a doubtful future with respect to use in treatment of the systemic mycoses. to assess the potential of ctm in combined drug regimens, antifungal effects of ctm together with 5-fluorocytosine (5-fc) or amphotericin b (amb) were tested in a synthetic liquid medium against candida albicans, candida tropicalis, and torulopsis glabrata. viable counts were monitored over a 48-h incubation period. weak inhibitory concentrations of ctm were tested in combination with levels of 5-f ... | 1976 | 779631 |
| effect of culture media on the antifungal activity of miconazole and amphotericin b methyl ester. | the capacity of four culture media to obfuscate the antifungal activity of miconazole and amphotericin b methyl ester was evaluated qualitatively by examination of five isolates each of candida albicans, candida tropicalis, candida parapsilosis, torulopsis glabrata, and cryptococcus neoformans, and quantitatively by determination of the absolute minimal inhibitory concentrations for a strain of c. albicans. miconazole, like the predecessor imidazole (clotrimazole), was antagonized by two complex ... | 1976 | 789787 |
| microsomal cytochromes of candida tropicalis grown on alkanes. | a comparison of methods used in isolating microsomes and in measuring microsomal cytochrome p-450 demonstrated that separation following protoplast lysis gave the best results. by this latter technique a high amount of cytochrome p-450 (0.2-0.3 nmol/mg) was recovered but cytochrome p-420, considered as the denatured form, was absent. the alkanes specifically induce cytochromes p-450 and b5 localized on the microsomes. the denaturation in vivo of cytochrome p-450 into cytochrome p-420 even occurs ... | 1976 | 813770 |

| [structure of candida tropicalis k-41 thermotolerant yeasts at various growing temperatures on a mineral medium with hydrocarbons]. | in the c. tropicalis k-41 cells fixed by glutaraldehyde and osmium most membranes consisted of two electron-transparent and one electron-dense layer. morphologo-structural peculiarities of the cell fraction grown at 39 degrees testify to a certain disconnection of energetic and constructive metabolism, inhibition of synthetic processes. cell division was more active at 29 degrees. | 1975 | 170720 |
| plasma membranes from candida tropicalis grown on glucose or hexadecane. i. isolation, identification and purification. | plasma membranes from candida tropicalis grown on glucose or hexadecane were isolated using a method based on the difference in surface charge of mitochondria and plasma membranes. after mechanical disruption of the cells, a fraction consisting of mitochondrial and plasma membrane vesicles was obtained by differential centrifugation. subsequently the mitochondria were separated from the plasma membrane vesicles by aggregation of the mitochondria at a ph corresponding to their isoelectric point. ... | 1978 | 152128 |
| [atp content in candida tropicalis cells growing at different temperatures]. | the thermotolerant yeast candida tropicalis, strain t-20, was cultivated on a chemically defined medium with glucose or malt wort in flasks with shaking at three temperatures: optimal (36degreesc), supraoptimal (38degreesc) and submaximal (41degreesc). an increase of temperature within these limits caused an increase in atp content in yeast cells and a decrease in phosphohydrolase (atpase) activity. | 1976 | 137353 |
| germ tube-positive candida tropicalis. | the germ tube test is routinely used for the rapid identification of candida albicans and its variant c. stellatoidea, and is generally thought to be specific for these organisms. four cases in which yeastlike fungi were isolated, and, although they were germ tube-positive, further morphologic and biochemical examinations identified them as candida tropicalis are presented. | 1977 | 879105 |
| component from the cell surface of the hydrocarbon-utilizing yeast candida tropicalis with possible relation to hydrocarbon transport. | a polysaccharide-fatty acid complex was isolated from the cell surface of candida tropicalis growing on alkanes. this complex was solubilized by pronase treatment of whole cells. a decrease in alkane-binding affinity was observed after pronase treatment, resulting in 10 to 12% of the yeast dry cell weight being released as polysaccharide. the isolated polysaccharide contained 2.5% fatty acids. c. tropicalis and saccharomyces cerevisiae grown with glucose contained only traces of fatty acids in t ... | 1977 | 893347 |
| [immunochemical method for study and identification of unicellular organisms (yeasts and bacteria) incorporated into food products as a protein source]. | the expected increase and diversification of single cell proteins production already requires the development of convenient methods for the identification of producing strains from the processed s.c.p., i.e. killed and dried cells. a simple immunological method based on double immunodiffusion analysis is proposed, that enables the identification of toprinal l (candida tropicalis), toprina g (candida lipolytica) and pruteen (pseudomonas methylotropha), all s.c.p. having received an approval from ... | 1979 | 121872 |
| [several properties of the extracellular vesicles of candida tropicalis yeasts grown on n-alkanes]. | vesicles with a high content of phospholipids were found when candida tropicalis ibfm-303 was cultivated on n-alkanes. the vesicles were extracellular, and their inner content had a fine-grained structure confined within a monolayer membrane. the number of the vesicles increased in the course of growth and depended on the concentration of n-alkanes in the medium. when the vesicles were added to an inoculate of c. tropicalis ibfm-303, the growth of cells decelerated and the biomass yield decrease ... | 1977 | 895555 |

| effect of the nitrogen source in the medium on the activity of glutamine synthetase in candida tropicalis and on the kinetics of the enzymatic reaction of glutamine synthesis. | the effect of various nitrogen sources (l-glutamic acid, l-glutamine, l-aspartic acid, l-asparagine, and ammonium sulphate) on the synthetase and transferase activity of glutamine synthetase was studied in candida tropicalis. these nitrogen sources had different effect on the two activity of the enzyme. glutamic acid or ammonium sulphate did not produce any considerable action on the kinetic properties of glutamine synthetase of this fodder yeast. | 1975 | 2839 |
| regulation of glutamine synthetase of the fodder yeast candida tropicalis by ammonium ions. | the effect of ammonium on glutamine synthetase of fodder yeast candida tropicalis was studied. ammonium ions were found to repress the synthesis of glutamine synthetase of fodder yeast and to inhibit the enzyme in the cells. the substitution of glutamic acid for ammonium in the nutrient medium brought about depression of glutamine synthetase. | 1975 | 1735 |
