| cryptococcus adeliensis sp. nov., a xylanase producing basidiomycetous yeast from antarctica. | cryptococcus adeliensis sp. nov. (cbs 8351) is described based on phenotypic characteristics and molecular sequence analysis of the d1/d2 large subunit and internal transcribed spacer regions of the ribosomal dna. molecular comparisons include species closely related to cryptococcus albidus and several species isolated from the antarctic. c. adeliensis, which has a cold-adapted xylanase, was isolated from terre adelie, antarctica. atcc 34633, which has a mesophilic xylanase, was identified as cr ... | 2000 | 10768474 |
| xylanase from the psychrophilic yeast cryptococcus adeliae. | a xylanase belonging to family 10 is produced by cryptococcus adeliae, an antarctic yeast that exhibits optimal growth at low temperature. the mature glycosylated xylanase secreted by c. adeliae is composed of 338 amino acid residues and 26 +/- 3 osidic residues, and shares 84% identity with its mesophilic counterpart from c. albidus. the xylanase from c. adeliae is less thermostable than its mesophilic homologue when the residual activities are compared, and this difference was confirmed by dif ... | 2000 | 10879558 |
| thermolabile xylanase of the antarctic yeast cryptococcus adeliae: production and properties. | xylanase production by the antarctic psychrophilic yeast cryptococcus adeliae was increased 4.3 fold by optimizing the culture medium composition using statistical designs. the optimized medium containing 24.2 g l(-1) xylan and 10.2 g l(-1) yeast extract and having an initial ph of 7.5 yielded xylanase activity at 400 nkat (nanokatal) ml(-1) after 168-h shake culture at 4 degrees c. in addition, very little endoglucanase, beta-mannanase, beta-xylosidase, beta-glucosidase, alpha-l-arabinofuranosi ... | 2000 | 10972191 |
| first report of a case of meningitis caused by cryptococcus adeliensis in a patient with acute myeloid leukemia. | cryptococcus adeliensis is a recently described new fungal species which has been isolated from decaying algae in terre adelie, antarctica. we report the first known case of meningitis caused by c. adeliensis in a patient with acute myeloid leukemia undergoing allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation. | 2004 | 14715811 |
| hydrolysis of nothogenia erinacea xylan by xylanases from families 10 and 11. | the structures of several enzymatic hydrolysis products of nothogenia erinacea seaweed xylan, a linear homopolymer with mixed beta-(1-->3)/beta-(1-->4) linkages, were analysed by physicochemical and biochemical techniques. with the glycoside hydrolase family 10 beta-(1-->4)-xylanase from cryptococcus adeliae, hydrolysis proceeds to a final mixture of products containing a mixed linkage-type triose as a major compound, whereas with the family 11 xylanase from thermomyces lanuginosus this is a mix ... | 2004 | 15063191 |

| ultrastructural and chemotaxonomic analysis of a xylanolytic strain of cryptococcus adeliensis isolated from sheep droppings in spain. | cryptococcus adeliensis was initially described as a psycrophilic species containing a single strain cbs 8351(t) isolated from decayed algae in terre adelie (antartida). later, a second strain of this species was isolated from an immunosuppressed patient affected by leukaemia in germany and recently several strains from this species have been found in human patients and pigeon droppings of the same country. in this study, we isolated from sheep droppings in spain a xylanolytic strain named levx0 ... | 2006 | 16823550 |
