| wickerhamiella australiensis, wickerhamiella cacticola, wickerhamiella occidentalis, candida drosophilae and candida lipophila, five new related yeast species from flowers and associated insects. | five new yeast species, wickerhamiella australiensis, wickerhamiella cacticola, wickerhamiella occidentalis, candida drosophilae and candida lipophila, are described to accommodate isolates recovered from flowers and floricolous insects of australian hibiscus trees, cosmopolitan morning glories (ipomoea spp.) and brazilian cereoid cacti. the new wickerhamiella species are heterothallic, occur in the haploid condition and are clearly separated reproductively from one another. although they exhibi ... | 1998 | 9828447 |
| natural yeast flora of different varieties of grapes used for wine making in india. | the natural saccharomyces and non-saccharomyces yeast flora present on the grape berries significantly affect wine production. six grape varieties, bangalore blue, zinfandel, cabernet, chenin blanc, sauvignon blanc and shiraz are being used in india for wine making. the yeast diversity was studied on the basis of morphological, colony, physiological characteristics and 5.8s-its sequencing of rdna of the isolates. eleven different species belonging to seven genera were identified as: candida azym ... | 2009 | 19835764 |
| biocontrol ability and putative mode of action of yeasts against geotrichum citri-aurantii in citrus fruit. | sour rot is a major postharvest disease of citrus fruit and is caused by the fungal pathogen geotrichum citri-aurantii. a lack of chemicals certified for the control of this disease has led to the consideration of alternative methods and strategies, such as the use of yeasts as biocontrol agents. the purpose of the present study was to test the ability of yeasts isolated from leaves, flowers, fruit, and soil, and six saccharomyces cerevisiae isolates to control citrus sour rot, to assess the mec ... | 2017 | 27296964 |
| production of mannitol from raw glycerol by candida azyma. | to promote the effective use of raw glycerol, 13 yeast strains with the ability to produce mannitol from glycerol were isolated from environmental samples. of the 13 strains, strain 7-12g was selected as an efficient mannitol producer from 25% (w/v) glycerol and was identified as candida azyma by morphological, physicochemical, and phylogenetic analyses. when the ability to produce mannitol from raw glycerol in flask culture was compared among strains 7-12g, nbrc10406 (the type strain of c. azym ... | 2014 | 24374122 |
| the use of parsimony network analysis for the formal delineation of phylogenetic species of yeasts: candida apicola, candida azyma, and candida parazyma sp. nov., cosmopolitan yeasts associated with floricolous insects. | parsimony network analysis of rdna sequences was used to delimit phylogenetic species of yeasts in an objective, formal manner. many strains assigned to candida apicola (starmerella clade), when compared to the type, fell outside the inclusion limits proposed by kurtzman and robnett (1998) based on a pair-wise comparison of the large subunit rrna gene d1/d2 domains. however, when these sequences were analyzed jointly with its rdna sequences by parsimony network analysis, 28 of the 30 strains for ... | 2010 | 19941164 |
