Antibacterial Activity of Aureobasidium Pullulans
Aureobasidium pullulans is ubiquitous, polymorphic and black fungus producing a variety of important metabolites including enzymes, polysaccharides and single cell protein. It is considered as a probable source for antagonistic activity against a number of phytopathogenic fungi and possible biocontrol agent of post harvest diseases. The present work aims at the antibacterial compounds produced ...
متن کاملAureobasidium pullulans infection in a patient with chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
Saprophytic fungi are being increasingly recognized as etiologic agents of mycoses in immunosuppressed patients. We report a case of subcutaneous infiltration by Aureobasidium pullulans, likely due to traumatic inoculation, in a neutropenic patient during chemotherapy for chronic lymphocytic leukemia. The patient was treated with amphotericin B deoxycholate but was subsequently switched to itra...
متن کاملGenetic transformation of Aureobasidium pullulans.
Aureobasidium pullulans strain Y117 was transformed to hygromycin resistance using plasmid pDH33, which contains the bacterial hygromycin B phosphotransferase gene (hph) fused to promoter elements of the Aspergillus niger glucoamylase gene (glaA). Southern hybridizations of transformants revealed multiple, integrated copies of the vector. The glaA promoter was not induced by starch in A. pullul...
متن کاملOpportunistic infection of the spleen caused by Aureobasidium pullulans.
The mold Aureobasidium pullulans was isolated on several nutrient media from a splenic abscess in a patient with disseminated lymphoma. Examination of stained smears and paraffin sections revealed fungal structures characteristic of this organism. This is the first reported association of A. pullulans with an opportunistic visceral infection.
متن کاملRedefinition of Aureobasidium pullulans and its varieties
Using media with low water activity, a large numbers of aureobasidium-like black yeasts were isolated from glacial and subglacial ice of three polythermal glaciers from the coastal Arctic environment of Kongsfjorden (Svalbard, Spitsbergen), as well as from adjacent sea water, sea ice and glacial meltwaters. To characterise the genetic variability of Aureobasidium pullulans strains originating f...
