Torulopsis fragaria species nova, a Yeast from Fruit

Torulopsis castellii sp.nov. a yeast isolated from a Finnish soil.

In a microbiological study of 32 samples of Finnish soil taken in August 1957, 22 species of yeasts were isolated; 15 of them were referred to an already described species, while 7 had to be considered as new species or varieties. The present paper describes a new species belonging to the genus Torulopsis for which the author proposes the name Torulopsis castellii in honour of Professor Tommaso...

Transgene transmission frequencies between cultivated strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Dutch) and other Fragaria species

The transmission of transgenes (uid-A and nptII) was studied in crosses between transgenic plants, with Fragaria x ananassa cultivar Teodora as the donor plant and various Fragaria species as recipient plants. GUS expression and kanamycin resistance were evaluated in embryos and in seedlings after aseptical germination, both in intraand inter-specific crosses as demonstrated by different ploidy...

A fruit-specific plasma membrane aquaporin subtype PIP1;1 is regulated during strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa) fruit ripening.

Despite the advances in the physiology of fruit ripening, the role and contribution of water pathways are still barely considered. Our aim was therefore to characterize aquaporins, proteins that render the molecular basis for putative regulatory mechanisms in water transport. We focused our work on strawberry (Fragaria xananassa) fruit, a non-climacteric fruit of special interest because of its...

A new naphthaquinone antibiotic from a new species of yeast.

A fusiform yeast producing limited pseudomycelium and limited true mycelium on malt extract agar has been isolated. This non-fermentative yeast has hyaline cell walls but produces a thick, black oily exudate which is water insoluble and gives the colony a smooth black lacquered appearance. On the basis of morphology and physiology, this organism is distinctive enough to warrant the designation ...
