Whole genome sequencing of Rhodotorula mucilaginosa isolated from the chewing stick (Distemonanthus benthamianus): insights into Rhodotorula phylogeny, mitogenome dynamics and carotenoid biosynthesis
In industry, the yeast Rhodotorula mucilaginosa is commonly used for the production of carotenoids. The production of carotenoids is important because they are used as natural colorants in food and some carotenoids are precursors of retinol (vitamin A). However, the identification and molecular characterization of the carotenoid pathway/s in species belonging to the genus Rhodotorula is scarce ...
متن کاملCarotenoid biosynthesis in Rhodotorula glutinis.
It was determined that lycopene could be cyclized directly by Rhodotorula glutinis. It was also shown the the temperature effect (i.e., increased beta-carotene synthesis in response to lower incubation temperatures) in R. glutinis was controlled by changes in enzyme concentration.
متن کاملImproving carotenoid pigments production in Rhodotorula mucilaginosa using UV irradiation
Rhodotorula yeasts were isolated from various local sources in Damascus, Syria, during 2012 and 2013. Fifty isolates (23 from leaves trees, 13 from different soils, 6 from different meats, 6 from dairy products, 1 pickle and 1 traditional sweet) were identified using API 20C AUX system. Isolated yeasts were classified into three Rhodotorula species: R. mucilaginosa, R. glutinis and R. minuta re...
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequence of Rhodotorula mucilaginosa, an Emergent Opportunistic Pathogen
Rhodotorula mucilaginosa, a yeast with valuable biotechnological features, has also been recorded as an emergent opportunistic pathogen that might cause disease in both immunocompetent and immunocompromised individuals. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of R. mucilaginosa strain C2.5t1, which was isolated from cacao seeds in Cameroon.
متن کاملEvaluation of the Relationship between the Incubation Time and Carotenoid Production in Rhodotorula Slooffiae and R. Mucilaginosa Isolated from Leather Tanning Wastewater
Objective(s): Carotenoids which are naturally synthesized by fungi such as yeasts can act as an antioxidant which is closely related to their ability to decrease the risk of a variety of degenerative diseases. In recent years, the increase of demand for carotenoids obtained from natural sources has promoted major efforts to improve carotenoid production from biological sources such...
