| starmerella meliponinorum sp. nov., a novel ascomycetous yeast species associated with stingless bees. | thirty-two strains of the novel species starmerella meliponinorum sp. nov. were isolated from various substrates associated with three stingless bee species (tribe meliponini) in brazil and one in costa rica. the strains were found in garbage pellets (faecal material, discarded pollen or food, etc.), pollen provisions, adult bees, honey and propolis of tetragonisca angustula, in honey from melipona quadritasciata and in adults of melipona rufiventris and trigona fulviventris. the sequence of the ... | 2003 | 12656193 |
| bioconversion of ferulic acid to 4-vinylguaiacol and 4-ethylguaiacol and of 4-vinylguaiacol to 4-ethylguaiacol by halotolerant yeasts belonging to the genus candida. | in order to examine the genesis of the characteristic flavors of soy sauce and miso, seven novel halotolerant yeast strains of two types, which showed convertibility of ferulic acid (fa) to 4-vinylguaiacol (4-vg) and to 4-ethylguaiacol (4-eg), were isolated from miso-koji and miso pastes. two of these strains were identified as candida guilliermondii (anamorph of pichia guilliermondii), and candida fermentati (anamorph of pichia caribbica), based on sequence analyses of a partial 26s ribosomal r ... | 2007 | 17420598 |
| candida potacharoeniae sp. nov. and candida spenceri sp. nov., two novel galactose-containing ascomycetous anamorphic yeast species isolated in thailand. | fifteen strains of anamorphic yeasts isolated from various natural substrates collected in various places in thailand were found to represent two novel species of anamorphic yeast genus candida based on the sequence analysis of the d1/d2 domain of the large subunit rrna genes, chemotaxonomic and conventional properties used for the classification of yeasts. these strains are located in the clade including candida etchellsii and candida magnoliae. fourteen strains represented by st-490(t) (bcc 15 ... | 2010 | 20953093 |
| internal transcribed spacer as a target to assess yeast biodiversity in italian taleggio pdo cheese. | three batches of soft smear-ripened taleggio pdo cheese were made in northern italy during the summertime 2010. a total of 129 isolates cultured from cheese surface were examined by using pcr-based methods and sequencing of both the its1 region and d1 and d2 domains of the 26s rrna gene. sequence analysis of isolates brought to the identification of 6 species: debaryomyces hansenii, kluyveromyces lactis, kluyveromyces marxianus, yarrowia lipolytica, pichia guilliermondii, and torulaspora delbrue ... | 2011 | 22417557 |
| co-culturing of pichia guilliermondii enhanced volatile flavor compound formation by zygosaccharomyces rouxii in the model system of thai soy sauce fermentation. | the roles of salt-tolerant yeasts such as zygosaccharomyces rouxii, candida versatilis, and candida etchellsii in the production of volatile flavor compounds (vfcs) in soy sauce fermentation have been well documented. however, the knowledge of vfc production by other salt-tolerant yeasts is still limited. in this work, the roles of z. rouxii and pichia guilliermondii strains in vfc production were investigated in moromi medium as a model system for soy sauce fermentation. inoculation of a single ... | 2012 | 23290236 |
| monitoring of the microbial communities involved in the soy sauce manufacturing process by pcr-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis. | soy sauce is a traditional seasoning produced through the fermentation of soybeans and wheat using microbes. in this study, the microbial communities involved in the soy sauce manufacturing process were analyzed by pcr-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (pcr-dgge). the bacterial dgge profile indicated that the bacterial microbes in the koji were weissella cibaria (weissella confusa, weissella kimchii, weissella salipiscis, lactobacillus fermentum, lactobacillus plantarum, lactobacillus iner ... | 2012 | 22475947 |
| identification and analysis of the metabolic functions of a high-salt-tolerant halophilic aromatic yeast candida etchellsii for soy sauce production. | salt-tolerant yeasts are very important for the flavor formation in soy sauce fermentation production. a halophilic aromatic yeast was isolated on the basis of the molecular biological and metabolic functions from soy sauce. the its nucleotide sequence alignment method was used to identify the strain as candida etchellsii by subjecting the sequence to ncbi-blast in comparison with that of the c. etchellsii strain miso 0208 (a typical high-salt-tolerant halophilic aromatic yeast strain). organic ... | 2012 | 22805926 |
| cerebral candidal abscess and bovine viral diarrhoea virus infection in an aborted bovine fetus. | candida species are opportunistic fungi associated with immunosuppression and are the most commonly isolated fungal pathogens from the human central nervous system. invasive candidiasis is reported uncommonly in animals and there have only been two reports of candidal infection of the brain. this report presents a case of a cerebral candidal abscess in an aborted late-term calf co-infected with bovine viral diarrhoea virus. candida etchellsii, a species not previously identified as pathogenic, w ... | 2017 | 26895887 |
| a dysbiotic mycobiome dominated by candida albicans is identified within oral squamous-cell carcinomas. | the aim of this study was to characterize the mycobiome associated with oral squamous-cell carcinoma (oscc). dna was extracted from 52 tissue biopsies (cases: 25 oscc; controls: 27 intra-oral fibro-epithelial polyps [fep]) and sequenced for the fungal internal transcribed spacer 2 region using illumina™ 2 x300bp chemistry. merged reads were classified to species level using a blastn-algorithm with unite's named species sequences as reference. downstream analyses were performed using qiime™ and l ... | 2017 | 29152157 |
| identification of clinical yeasts by vitek ms system compared with api id 32 c. | we performed a clinical evaluation of the vitek ms matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (maldi-tof ms) system with the commercial database version 2.0 for rapid identification of medically important yeasts as compared with the conventional phenotypic method api id 32 c. we tested 161 clinical isolates, nine isolates from culture collections and five reference strains. in case of discrepant results or no identification with one or both methods, molecular id ... | 2014 | 24782106 |
