Torulopsis petrophilum and Surface Activity.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Torulopsis petrophilum can synthesize either a glycolipid surfactant or a protein emulsifier depending on the substrate used. These compounds were not produced to facilitate the uptake of an insoluble carbon source. The glycolipids produced were identical to the mixture isolated from T. bombicola.

متن کاملKiller phenomenon in pathogenic yeast.
Potentially pathogenic yeast strains from four genera, Candida, Cryptococcus, Torulopsis, and Trichosporon, were examined for killer activity and sensitivity using Saccharomyces and Torulopsis strains of known killer status. Tests were performed by using a streak method and by concentration of culture fluid by lyophilization. Of 236 strains examined, killers were found with low prevalence among...
متن کاملNumerical analysis and computerized identification of the yeast genera Candida and Torulopsis.
Numerical analysis of the published standard descriptions of 104 species of Candida and 48 species of Torulopsis suggested that the number of species should be reduced to 78 and 33 respectively. Four examples are noted of closely matched species differing in ability to assimilate nitrate; these species may be combined as nitrate-variable species. Although the ability to form pseudomycelium is t...

متن کاملAssay for free and total choline activity in biological fluids and tissues of rats and man with Torulopsis pintolopessi.
The sensitive, specific growth response to choline activity of the thermophilic enteric yeast Torulopsis pintolopessi enables estimation of free and bound choline activity in rat and human fluids and tissues- as little as 10 ng/ml of choline is measurable. Unlike other microbial assays, estimation of unbound (free) choline activity is not influenced by methionine or phospholipids. The method al...
