| candida easanensis sp. nov., candida pattaniensis sp. nov. and candida nakhonratchasimensis sp. nov., three new species of yeasts isolated from insect frass in thailand. | six strains of anamorphic yeasts isolated from insect frass collected in several regions of thailand were assigned to the genus candida based on the conventional taxonomic criteria used for yeast classification. these strains have q-7 as the major ubiquinone and are suggested to have close relationships to the genus pichia. three strains, st-225, st-228 and st-229, have identical nucleotide sequences in the d1/d2 domain of 26s rdna and are closely related to pichia japonica, but differ by six nu ... | 2004 | 15747231 |
| degradation capacities of bacteria and yeasts isolated from the gut of dendroctonus rhizophagus (curculionidae: scolytinae). | bark beetles (curculionidae: scolytinae) feed on the xylem and phloem of their host, which are composed of structural carbohydrates and organic compounds that are not easily degraded by the insects. some of these compounds might be hydrolyzed by digestive enzymes produced by microbes present in the gut of these insects. in this study, we evaluated the enzymatic capacity of bacteria (acinetobacter lwoffii, arthrobacter sp., pseudomonas putida, pseudomonas azotoformans, and rahnella sp.) and yeast ... | 2017 | 27544667 |
| yeast diversity associated with invasive dendroctonus valens killing pinus tabuliformis in china using culturing and molecular methods. | bark beetle-associated yeasts are much less studied than filamentous fungi, yet they are also considered to play important roles in beetle nutrition, detoxification, and chemical communication. the red turpentine beetle, dendroctonus valens, an invasive bark beetle introduced from north america, became one of the most destructive pests in china, having killed more than 10 million pinus tabuliformis as well as other pine species. no investigation of yeasts associated with this bark beetle in its ... | 2014 | 24691849 |
