| evaluation of lactic acid bacteria and yeast diversity in traditional white pickled and fresh soft cheeses from the mountain regions of serbia and lowland regions of croatia. | the goal of this study was the characterisation of indigenous lactic acid bacteria (lab) and yeasts isolated from nine white pickled (bg) and nine fresh soft (zg) artisanal cheeses collected in serbia and croatia. while lab were present in all of the cheeses collected, yeasts were found in all bg cheeses but only in three zg cheese samples. high lab and yeast species diversity was determined (average h'(l)=0.4 and h'(y)=0.8, respectively). the predominant lab species in white pickled (bg) cheese ... | 2013 | 23973841 |
| the influence of debaryomyces hansenii, candida deformans and candida zeylanoides on the aroma formation of dry-cured "lacón". | the volatile profile of dry-cured "lacón" that has been inoculated with three different yeasts were determined and compared with a non-inoculated dry-cured "lacón". yeasts (debaryomyces hansenii, candida deformans and candida zeylanoides) that were used as starter cultures in the present study were selected among yeasts that were isolated from native dry-cured "lacón" at different stages of ripening process. these starters were spread on dry-cured "lacón" surface in order to test their capacity ... | 2013 | 23102730 |
| synthesis and the selective antifungal activity of 5,6,7,8-tetrahydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine derivatives. | even though there are new classes of compounds now frequently used in treatment of fungal infections, the density of deeply invasive candidiasis has increased at least 10-fold during the past decade. furthermore, many infections due to candida species are actually refractory to antifungal therapy. in this present study, it was aimed to synthesize, new hydrazide derivatives of tetrahydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine and evaluate their anticandidal activity and cytotoxicity in vitro. the reaction of tetr ... | 2010 | 20106559 |
| studies on hydrazone derivatives as antifungal agents. | the increasing clinical importance of drug-resistant fungal pathogens has urged additional need to fungal research and new antifungal compound development. for this purpose, some n-(1-benzyl-2-phenylethylidene)-n'-[4-(aryl)thiazol-2-yl]hydrazone (1a-e) and n-(1-phenylbutylidene)-n'-[4-(aryl)thiazol-2-yl]hydrazone (2a-e) derivatives were synthesised and evaluated for antifungal activity. their antifungal activities against standard and clinical strands of candida albicans, candida glabrata, candi ... | 2008 | 18665994 |
| the predominance, biodiversity and biotechnological properties of kluyveromyces marxianus in the production of pecorino di farindola cheese. | pecorino di farindola is a handicraft cheese made by farmers on small scale using raw ewes' milk and pig rennet. in this study, yeast consortia were evaluated during pecorino di farindola making and ripening. molecular identification of 156 isolates was achieved by a combination of pcr-rflp of the 5.8s its rrna region and sequencing of the d1/d2 domain of the 26s rrna gene. kluyveromyces marxianus was the predominant species, while other species (pichia kudriavzevii, candida parapsilosis, candid ... | 2014 | 25038503 |
| dna typing methods for differentiation of debaryomyces hansenii strains and other yeasts related to surface ripened cheeses. | the discriminative power of its-pcr, its-pcr rflp and mitochondrial (mt)-dna rflp were evaluated for differentiation of yeasts of importance for surface ripened cheeses. in total 60 isolates were included. of these, 40 strains of the following species, debaryomyces hansenii var. hansenii, d. hansenii var. fabryi, saccharomyces cerevisiae, candida zeylanoides, kluyveromyces lactis and yarrowia lipolytica, were obtained from culture collections and 20 isolates of d. hansenii representing six diffe ... | 2001 | 11589549 |
| characterisation of yeasts isolated from 'nduja of spilinga. | the 'nduja of spilinga protected geographical indication (pgi) is a spreadable italian salami, obtained by using fat (50%), lean of pork (25%), chili pepper (25%) and nacl, stuffed into natural pork casing. its predominant flora is represented by yeasts, reaching at the end of seasoning values of 6 log cfu/g. considering the need to enhance and protect traditional local products, it seemed interesting to carry out a characterisation of yeasts of the 'nduja of spilinga pgi. a total of 127 strains ... | 2014 | 27800341 |
