Biochemical Studies on the Yeasts. II

Biological Studies on Capsulated Yeasts.

The taxonomic nomenclature of Stelling-Dekker (1931) and Lodder (1934) is used throughout the paper. The yeast strains were derived partly from the stock of the Department of Bacteriology and Hygiene of the Hebrew University and partly from the following type culture collections: National Type Culture Collection, London; American Type Culture Collection, Washington; and the Centraalbureau voor ...

Studies on the polysaccharides of capsulated yeasts.

Biochemical Studies on Shock

During and following the production of shock by hemorrhage in the normal, suprareno-demedullated, and suprarenalectomized rat, the following significant changes in amino acid and carbohydrate metabolism have been observed. 1. In the intact, suprareno-demedullated, and suprarenalectomized rat there is a progressive rise in the whole blood and plasma amino acid nitrogen levels during and after a ...

Comparison of biochemical properties of recombinant endoglucanase II of Trichoderma reesei in methylotrophic yeasts, Pichia pastoris and Hansenula polymorpha

Bioconversion of cellulosic material into bioethanol needs cellulase complex enzymesthat contain endoglucanase, exoglucanase and beta glucosidase. One of the most important organisms that produce cellulases is the filamentous fungi, Trichoderma reesei which able to secrete large amounts of different cellulases. These enzymes are probably the most widely used cellulases industrially, however, th...

Biochemical identification of clinically important yeasts.

Four commercially available kits for the speciation of yeasts were tested against 50 clinical isolates that had been identified by conventional methods. On biochemical grounds alone, the four systems varied from 71% to 100% in their efficiency in identifying Candida albicans. Yeasts other than C. albicans were identified with an efficiency varying from 24% to 83%. Conclusions are drawn on the v...
