The yeast Geotrichum candidum encodes functional lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases
BACKGROUND Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are a class of powerful oxidative enzymes that have revolutionized our understanding of lignocellulose degradation. Fungal LPMOs of the AA9 family target cellulose and hemicelluloses. AA9 LPMO-coding genes have been identified across a wide range of fungal saprotrophs (Ascomycotina, Basidiomycotina, etc.), but so far they have not been foun...
متن کاملDoes Probiotic Yeast Act as Antigenotoxin?**
The effect of probiotic yeast Saccharomyces boulardii on genotoxicity induced by the well-known mutagen 4-nitroquinoline-N-oxide (4-NQO), as well as antibacterial (furazolidone) and antibiotic (nalidixic acid) drugs, has been studied using the short-term bacterial assay, SOS chromotest, with Escherichia coli PQ 37 as the test organism. It has been shown that S. boulardii possesses antigenotoxic...
متن کاملSaccharomyces cerevisiae var. boulardii – Probiotic Yeast
The discovery and study of the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. boulardii (Sb) is strictly related to the concept of health promoting microorganisms from food. The first most well-known and popularized throughout Europe assumption of health promoting food containing living microorganisms was yogurt. Appointed in 1888 by Louis Pasteur, Ilya Ilyich Metchnikov working in Paris developed...
متن کاملProbiotic Yeast Therapy for Irritable Bowel Syndrome
c 2016 The Korean Society of Neurogastroenterology and Motility J Neurogastroenterol Motil, Vol. 22 No. 3 July, 2016 www.jnmjournal.org TO THE EDITOR: We read with interest the meta-analyses by Mazurak et al in which the authors suggest that the use of different probiotics appears to have limited evidence for efficacy in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Trials with single-strain probiotic reveal...
متن کاملBiofilm formation of the black yeast-like fungus Exophiala dermatitidis and its susceptibility to antiinfective agents
Various fungi have the ability to colonize surfaces and to form biofilms. Fungal biofilm-associated infections are frequently refractory to targeted treatment because of resistance to antifungal drugs. One fungus that frequently colonises the respiratory tract of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients is the opportunistic black yeast-like fungus Exophiala dermatitidis. We investigated the biofilm-formin...
