Characterization of the invertase from Pichia anomala.
Synthesis of invertase (EC 3.2.1.26) in Pichia anomala is controlled by the carbon source in the culture medium. The enzyme was purified to homogeneity from P. anomala cells fully derepressed for invertase synthesis and shown to be a multimeric glycoprotein composed of identical subunits with an apparent molecular mass of 86.5 kDa. The carbohydrate moiety accounts for approx. 30% of the total m...
متن کاملProduction of sophorolipid biosurfactant by Pichia anomala.
Biosurfactant production by Pichia anomala PY1, a thermotorelant strain isolated from fermented food, was examined as grown in media containing various carbon and nitrogen sources. The optimal conditions for biosurfactant production included 4% soybean oil as carbon source at pH 5.5 at 30 degrees C for 7 d. Under these conditions, the surface tension of the medium decreased to 28 mN/m with oil ...
متن کاملBiocontrol of Aspergillus flavus by Pichia anomala
Aflatoxins are extremely potent natural carcinogens and a major food safety concern because of potential contamination of food commodities. Threshold levels set by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration for aflatoxins in foods for domestic consumption are less than 20 parts/ billion (ppb). However, the European Union (EU) and Japan have set threshold levels at less than 4 ppb. These low toleran...
متن کاملPurification and characterization of the anti-Candida toxin of Pichia anomala WC 65.
Pichia anomala WC 65 secretes a toxin that is inhibitory to a variety of yeasts, including strains of the animal pathogen Candida albicans. The toxin was purified to homogeneity by ultrafiltration, ethanol precipitation, ion-exchange chromatography with a Mono Q column, and gel permeation chromatography with a Superose 12 column. The toxin had a molecular weight of 83,300 as determined by elect...
متن کاملFour new yeasts in the Pichia anomala clade.
Four new yeasts are described that were recognized as novel from nucleotide substitutions in domain D1/D2 of 26S rDNA, a region that is sufficiently divergent to allow resolution of most ascomycetous yeast species. The new species and their type strains are as follows: Pichia maclurae NRRL Y-5377T (= CBS 8671T); Pichia misumaiensis NRRL Y-17389T (= CBS 8062T); Candida mycetangii NRRL Y-6843T (=...
