| production of antibacterial compounds by phylloplane-inhabiting yeasts and yeastlike fungi. | the production of antibacterial compounds by yeasts and yeastlike fungi isolated from the phylloplane is reported. aureobasidium pullulans, citeromyces matritensis, cryptococcus laurentii, rhodotorula glutinis, and sporobolomyces roseus produced antibacterial compounds inhibitory to both pseudomonas fluorescens and staphylococcus aureus in an overlay bioassay. in contrast, isolates of candida albicans, filobasidium uniguttulatum, saccharomyces cerevisiae, torulaspora delbruckii, tremella foliace ... | 1994 | 8161185 |
| low-temperature biodegradation of high amounts of phenol by rhodococcus spp. and basidiomycetous yeasts. | four cold-adapted microbial strains able to degrade high amounts of phenol were isolated from hydrocarbon-contaminated alpine soils. two of the strains were bacteria identified as rhodococcus spp., and two strains were basidiomycetous yeasts. one of the yeasts was identified as trichosporon dulcitum, while the second yeast strain belonged to the urediniomycetes and probably represents a novel species. this strain was not able to grow at temperatures above 20 degrees c, while the other three stra ... | 2005 | 15636749 |
| a comparative study of saccharomyces cerevisiae sensitivity against eight yeast species sensitivities to a range of toxicants. | fungi are widespread and very important in many ecosystems but the extensive use of pesticides can adversely affect beneficial fungi. the yeast, saccharomyces cerevisiae has been proposed for the toxicological assessment of the effects of environmental pollutants on non-target fungi. to assess whether s. cerevisiae is a good representative of the immense ecological and phylogenetic diversity of yeasts, we compare the sensitivity of eight other yeasts from diverse phylogenetic taxa to a range of ... | 2009 | 19185901 |
