چکیده
Candida boidinii, Growth on Ethanol, Presence M onofluoracetate, Red Dipyrromethene Pigment, Structure Elucidation The yeast Candida boidinii ATCC 32195 produces a cell-bound red pigment during growth on 1% ethanol in the presence o f 0.05% monofluoracetate. Its isolation and purification are described. The structure was elucidated by chemical degradation and physical methods, mainly mass and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

The stereospecificity of alcohol oxidases from Tanacetum vulgare and Candida boidinii.
The stereospecificity of the oxidation of trans-hex-2-en-l-01 and ethanol was determined for alcohol oxidases from Tanacetum vulgare leaves and from the yeast Candida boidinii. It was found that both enzymes remove the pro-1R hydrogen. The enzyme from Candida boidinii also removes the pro-1S hydrogen but t!o a much lesser degree.
متن کاملDe Novo Assembly of Candida sojae and Candida boidinii Genomes, Unexplored Xylose-Consuming Yeasts with Potential for Renewable Biochemical Production
Candida boidinii and Candida sojae yeasts were isolated from energy cane bagasse and plague-insects. Both have fast xylose uptake rate and produce great amounts of xylitol, which are interesting features for food and 2G ethanol industries. Because they lack published genomes, we have sequenced and assembled them, offering new possibilities for gene prospection.
متن کاملMolecular characterization of a gene for aldose reductase ( CbXYL1) from Candida boidinii and its expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Candida boidinii produces significant amounts of xylitol from xylose, and assays of crude homogenates for aldose (xylose) reductase (XYL1p) have been reported to show relatively high activity with NADH as a cofactor even though XYL1p purified from this yeast does not have such activity. A gene coding for XYL1p from C. boidinii (CbXYL1) was isolated by amplifying the central region using primers...
متن کاملTransformation system for an asporogenous methylotrophic yeast, Candida boidinii: cloning of the orotidine-5'-phosphate decarboxylase gene (URA3), isolation of uracil auxotrophic mutants, and use of the mutants for integrative transformation.
An integrative transformation system was established for an asporogenous methylotrophic yeast, Candida boidinii. This system uses a uracil auxotrophic mutant of C. boidinii as the host strain in combination with its URA3 gene as the selectable marker. First, the C. boidinii URA3 gene coding for orotidine-5'-phosphate decarboxylase (ODCase) was cloned by using complementation of the pyrF mutatio...
متن کاملDraft Genome Assemblies of Xylose-Utilizing Candida tropicalis and Candida boidinii with Potential Application in Biochemical and Biofuel Production
Non-albicans Candida species are growing in prominence in industrial biotechnology due to their ability to utilize hemicellulose. Here, we present the draft genome sequences of an inhibitor-tolerant Candida tropicalis strain (Y6604) and Candida boidinii NCAIM Y01308T.
