| environmental adaptation factors of two yeasts isolated from the leachate of a uranium mineral heap. | two yeasts from the effluent of a uranium mineral heap were identified as candida sorbophila and rhodotorula mucilaginosa. they are well adapted to such an environment as shown by their tolerance to metals and acid ph. however, different mechanisms could be involved in the adaptation: c. sorbophila could be considered to be more acid-tolerant as a function of its specific growth rate and respiratory behavior at acidic ph in an organic medium. however, r. mucilaginosa was capable of growing by 1 ... | 2002 | 12044680 |
| candida sergipensis, a new asexual yeast species isolated from frozen pulps of tropical fruits. | sixteen strains of the new yeast species candida sergipensis have been isolated from frozen pulps of the tropical fruits umbú ( spondias tuberosa avr. cam.) and mangaba ( hancornia speciosa gom.). candida sergipensis was one of the prevalent species in the yeast community of these substrates. the new asexual ascomycetous yeast is phylogenetically related to candida spandovensis and candida sorbophila, species belonging to the wickerhamiella clade, as evidenced by the sequences of the d1/d2 domai ... | 2004 | 15103235 |
| new anamorphic yeast species: candida infanticola sp. nov., candida polysorbophila sp. nov., candida transvaalensis sp. nov. and trigonopsis californica sp. nov. | three new species of candida and a new species of trigonopsis are described based on their recognition from phylogenetic analysis of gene sequences from large subunit ribosomal rna, its1/its2 rrna, mitochondrial small subunit rrna and cytochrome oxidase ii. candida infanticola sp. nov. (type strain nrrl y-17858, cbs 7922) was isolated from the ear of an infant in germany and is closely related to candida sorbophila. candida polysorbophila sp. nov. (type strain nrrl y-27161, cbs 7317) is a member ... | 2007 | 17375367 |
| unraveling the decolourizing ability of yeast isolates from dye-polluted and virgin environments: an ecological and taxonomical overview. | microcosm assays with dye-amended culture media under a shot-feeding strategy allowed us to obtain 100 yeast isolates from the wastewater outfall channel of a dyeing textile factory in tucumán (argentina). meanwhile, 63 yeast isolates were obtained from phoebe porphyria (laurel del monte) samples collected from las yungas rainforest (tucumán), via a classical isolation scheme. isolated yeasts, both from dye-polluted and virgin environments, were compared for their textile dye decolourization abi ... | 2011 | 20730563 |
| wickerhamiella slavikovae sp. nov. and wickerhamiella goesii sp. nov., two yeast species isolated from natural substrates. | two novel yeast species were isolated during three independent studies of yeasts associated with natural substrates in brazil and taiwan. analysis of the sequences of the d1/d2 domains of the large subunit rrna gene showed that these novel species belong to the wickerhamiella clade. the first was isolated from freshwater and a leaf of sugar cane (saccharum officinarum) in brazil and from leaves of wedelia biflora in taiwan. described here as wickerhamiella slavikovae sp. nov., it differs by 56 n ... | 2013 | 23710055 |
| characterization of the newly isolated ω-oxidizing yeast candida sorbophila ds02 and its potential applications in long-chain dicarboxylic acid production. | α, ω-dicarboxylic acids (dcas) are multipurpose chemicals widely used in polymers, perfumes, plasticizers, lubricants, and adhesives. the biotransformation of dcas from alkanes and fatty acids by microorganisms has attracted recent interest, since synthesis via chemical oxidation causes problems in terms of the environment and safety. we isolated an ω-oxidizing yeast from a wastewater disposal facility of a petrochemical factory by chemostat enrichment culture. the haploid strain identified as c ... | 2017 | 28589225 |
