| hydrolytic enzymes and antifungal compounds produced by tilletiopsis species, phyllosphere yeasts that are antagonists of powdery mildew fungi. | isolates of five species of the yeast-like fungus tilletiopsis derx (tilletiopsis albescens gokhale, tilletiopsis fulvescens gokhale, tilletiopsis minor nyland, tilletiopsis pallescens gokhale, and tilletiopsis washingtonensis nyland) were screened for exo- and endo--beta-1,3-glucanase and chitinase production in a liquid broth used to produce inoculum for biological control studies. there were significant differences among the species, and highest overall enzyme activity was present in t albesc ... | 2002 | 11989766 |
| emended descriptions of tilletiopsis washingtonensis, tilletiopsis cremea and tilletiopsis lilacina. | for species discrimination, dna relatedness, nuclear dna (ndna) base compositions and internal transcribed spacer (its) regions were studied in strains of the 'washingtonensis group' consisting of the type strains of tilletiopsis washingtonensis, tilletiopsis cremea and tilletiopsis lilacina as wells as nine strains previously identified as any one of the three species. t. washingtonensis is the neotype of the genus tilletiopsis while t. cremea and t. lilacina are currently recognized as conspec ... | 2000 | 10758905 |
| assimilation of volatiles from ripe apples by sporidiobolus salmonicolor and tilletiopsis washingtonensis. | sporidiobolus salmonicolor atcc 623 and tilletiopsis washingtonensis nrrl y-2555 grew on carbon resources provided as volatiles by ripe 'golden delicious' apples. this ability was not correlated with the reported natural habitats of the 21 species (26 strains) tested. ethylene, the major volatile produced, was not utilized but butyl acetate, hexyl acetate and hexyl-2-methyl-butanoate (identified by gc-ms) were. these yeasts also assimilated ethanol, butanol, hexanol (tilletiopsis excepted), acet ... | 1997 | 9403105 |
