Rapid method for determining nitrate utilization by yeasts.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A test for the nitrate-reductase activity in yeasts has been developed, in which the reaction may be read after only 10 min of incubation. The rapidity of the test is due to the optimization of pH, substrate concentration, and temperature for the reaction.

Comparison of four methods for determining nitrate utilization by cryptococci.
This study evaluated the following methods for determining nitrate utilization: Wickerham broth, a special nitrate broth, Delft plate, and nitrate strip. With 236 isolates of cryptococci as test organisms, the special nitrate broth method gave 99% correct results and the Wickerham broth method gave 98%. The nitrate strip and Delft plate methods gave correct results in 94 and 86% of tests, respe...
متن کاملYeast nitrogen utilization in the phyllosphere during plant lifespan under regulation of autophagy
Recently, microbe-plant interactions at the above-ground parts have attracted great attention. Here we describe nitrogen metabolism and regulation of autophagy in the methylotrophic yeast Candida boidinii, proliferating and surviving on the leaves of Arabidopsis thaliana. After quantitative analyses of yeast growth on the leaves of A. thaliana with the wild-type and several mutant yeast strains...

متن کاملAssimilation of nitrate by yeasts.
Nitrate assimilation has received much attention in filamentous fungi and plants but not so much in yeasts. Recently the availability of classical genetic and molecular biology tools for the yeast Hansenula polymorpha has allowed the advance of the study of this metabolic pathway in yeasts. The genes YNT1, YNR1 and YNI1, encoding respectively nitrate transport, nitrate reductase and nitrite red...
