| kurtzmaniella gen. nov. and description of the heterothallic, haplontic yeast species kurtzmaniella cleridarum sp. nov., the teleomorph of candida cleridarum. | the teleomorph of candida cleridarum was discovered through the detection of conjugation between isolates of a large collection from the nitidulid beetles of the genus carpophilus found in the flowers of various cacti in arizona, usa. the previous oversight of the sexual cycle of this yeast is attributed to the inequality (ca. 5 : 1) of the two mating types. extensive conjugation between compatible mating types is observed after overnight incubation on 5 % malt agar, followed after 3-5 days by t ... | 2008 | 18218961 |
| indigenous and inoculated yeast fermentation of gabiroba (campomanesia pubescens) pulp for fruit wine production. | the objectives of this study were to evaluate the potential of gabiroba campomanesia pubescens (dc) o. berg in the production of a beverage fermented using selected and wild yeasts from indigenous fermentation, analyze the volatile compounds profile present during the process of fermentation, and evaluate the sensory quality of the final beverage produced. throughout the process of fermentation, when saccharomyces cerevisiae ufla ca 1162 was inoculated, there were stable viable populations aroun ... | 2009 | 19190949 |
| 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 |
| yeast species associated with wine grapes in china. | having more information on the yeast ecology of grapes is important for wine-makers to produce wine with high quality and typical attributes. china is a significant wine-consuming country and is becoming a serious wine-producer, but little has been reported about the yeast ecology of local ecosystems. this study provides the first step towards the exploitation of the yeast wealth in china's vine-growing regions. the aim of this study was to investigate the yeast population density and diversity ... | 2010 | 20116124 |
| the environmental and intrinsic yeast diversity of cuban cocoa bean heap fermentations. | the environmental yeast diversity of spontaneous cocoa bean fermentations in east cuba was investigated. seven fermentations, 25 equipment- and handling-related samples, and 115 environmental samples, such as flowers, leaf and cocoa pod surfaces, as well as drosophilid insects, were analysed. the basic fermentation parameters temperature and ph were recorded during five fermentations for at least six days. a total of 435 yeast isolates were identified by a combination of pcr-fingerprinting of ge ... | 2016 | 27322722 |
| diversity of culturable yeasts in phylloplane of sugarcane in thailand and their capability to produce indole-3-acetic acid. | yeasts were isolated by the enrichment technique from the phylloplane of 94 samples of sugarcane leaf collected from seven provinces in thailand. all sugarcane leaf samples contained yeasts and 158 yeast strains were obtained. on the basis of the d1/d2 domain of the large subunit rrna gene sequence analysis, 144 strains were identified to 24 known species in 14 genera belonging to the ascomycota viz. candida akabanensis, candida dendronema, candida mesorugosa, candida michaelii, candida nivarien ... | 2014 | 24442819 |
| candida quercitrusa candidemia in a 6-year-old child. | we present the first case of candidemia due to candida quercitrusa in a pediatric patient. the identification of the isolate was protracted and ultimately dependent upon sequence analysis of the internal transcribed spacer region. to further define the antifungal susceptibility characteristics of this species, we performed antifungal susceptibility testing of clinical and type strains. in light of the antifungal susceptibility testing results, we caution against the use of fluconazole for treati ... | 2015 | 26063864 |
| three clustered cases of candidemia caused by candida quercitrusa and mycological characteristics of this novel species. | we investigated three nosocomial candida quercitrusa candidemia cases occurring within 2 months in a chinese hospital. isolates were identifiable only by dna sequencing of the rrna genes. genetic (via random amplified polymorphic dna [rapd]) and protein mass spectral (via matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry [maldi-tof ms]) analyses yielded identical profiles suggesting an outbreak. the fluconazole mics of all the strains were 16 to 32 μg/ml. | 2014 | 24696025 |
| production of d-arabitol from raw glycerol by candida quercitrusa. | to promote the effective use of raw glycerol (a by-product of biodiesel production), 110 yeast strains that produce d-arabitol from glycerol were isolated from environmental samples. among them, strain 17-2a was an effective d-arabitol producer in the presence of 250 g/l glycerol and was identified as candida quercitrusa based on morphological, physicochemical, and phylogenetic analyses. c. quercitrusa type strain nbrc1022 produced the greatest quantity of d-arabitol (41.7 g/l) when the ability ... | 2014 | 24352735 |
| yeast diversity isolated from grape musts during spontaneous fermentation from a brazilian winery. | saccharomyces and non-saccharomyces yeast species from a winery located in brazil were identified by ribosomal gene-sequencing analysis. a total of 130 yeast strains were isolated from grape surfaces and musts during alcoholic fermentation from isabel, bordeaux, and cabernet sauvignon varieties. samples were submitted to pcr-rflp analysis and genomic sequencing. thirteen species were identified: candida quercitrusa, candida stellata, cryptococcus flavescens, cryptococcus laurentii, hanseniaspora ... | 2013 | 23636496 |
