Cold-active polygalacturonase from psychrophilic-basidiomycetous yeast Cystofilobasidium capitatum strain PPY-1.
We purified and characterized a cold-active polygalacturonase (PG) from the extracellular fraction of Cystofilobasidium capitatum strain PPY-1. The purified PG from strain PPY-1 has a molecular mass of about 44 kDa, and exhibited high activity at 0 degrees C, although its optimum temperature was 45 degrees C. Although the Km value for polygalacturonate as a substrate at 45 degrees C was found t...
متن کاملYeast and yeast-like diversity in the southernmost glacier of Europe (Calderone Glacier, Apennines, Italy).
The present study reports the characterization of psychrophilic yeast and yeast-like diversity in cold habitats (superficial and deep sediments, ice cores and meltwaters) of the Calderone Glacier (Italy), which is the southernmost glacier in Europe. After incubation at 4 and 20 degrees C, sediments contained about 10(2)-10(3) CFU of yeasts g(-1). The number of viable yeast cells in ice and melt...
متن کاملCold-stress responses in the Antarctic basidiomycetous yeast Mrakia blollopis
Microbes growing at subzero temperatures encounter numerous growth constraints. However, fungi that inhabit cold environments can grow and decompose organic compounds under subzero temperatures. Thus, understanding the cold-adaptation strategies of fungi under extreme environments is critical for elucidating polar-region ecosystems. Here, I report that two strains of the Antarctic basidiomyceto...
متن کاملFatty acid composition of cold-adapted carotenogenic basidiomycetous yeasts.
We studied fatty acids (FAs) profiles in six carotenoid-producing yeast species isolated from temperate aquatic environments in Patagonia. Total FAs ranged from 2 to 15% of dry biomass. Linoleic, oleic, palmitic and alpha-linolenic acids were the major FAs constituents, which accounted for as much as 40%, 34%, 13% and 9% of total FAs, respectively. The proportion of each FA varied markedly depe...
متن کاملKey amino acid residues conferring enhanced enzyme activity at cold temperatures in an Antarctic polyextremophilic β-galactosidase.
The Antarctic microorganism Halorubrum lacusprofundi harbors a model polyextremophilic β-galactosidase that functions in cold, hypersaline conditions. Six amino acid residues potentially important for cold activity were identified by comparative genomics and substituted with evolutionarily conserved residues (N251D, A263S, I299L, F387L, I476V, and V482L) in closely related homologs from mesophi...
