| yeasts isolated from plant-associated beetles and other insects: seven novel candida species near candida albicans. | yeasts related to candida albicans were isolated from the digestive tracts of beetles in eight families and various orders of insects such as earwigs, crickets, and roaches, most of which were caught at light traps or in a few cases directly from plant materials. based on comparisons of dna sequences and other taxonomic characteristics, a total of 41 isolates were identified as candida orthopsilosis, candida pseudorhagii, candida maltosa, candida parapsilosis, candida tropicalis, candida neerlan ... | 2008 | 17986254 |
| characterization of two different toxins of wickerhamomyces anomalus (pichia anomala) vkm y-159. | wickerhamomyces anomalus vkm y-159 strain produces two types of toxin designated as wakt a and wakt b, encoded by chromosomal genes. the wakt a toxin is heat-labile, pronase sensitive acting in ph range 3-4 affecting on several yeasts including pathogenic candida species while the wakt b toxin is protease- and thermo-resistant, acting in ph range 3-7 on two species, candida alai and candida norvegica. the rapid decrease of the number of viable cells after toxin treatment demonstrates that both t ... | 2012 | 22695525 |
