New amylolytic yeast strains for starch and dextrin fermentation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Yeast strains capable of fermenting starch and dextrin to ethanol were isolated from samples collected from Brazilian factories in which cassava flour is produced. Considerable alcohol production was observed for all the strains selected. One strain (DI-10) fermented starch rapidly and secreted 5 times as much amylolytic enzyme than that observed for Schwanniomyces alluvius UCD 54-83. This strain and three other similar isolates were classified as Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. diastaticus by morphological and physiological characteristics and molecular taxonomy.

Starch Hydrolysis and Fermentation by the Yeast Endomycopsis Fibuliger.
Yeasts are generally considered to be unable to ferment starch. This lack of diastatic activity is the reason for the use, in fermentation industries, of barleymalt and fungal diastase preparations for the conversion of starchy substrates to sugars which may be attacked by the yeasts. If there should exist in nature yeasts which possess active amylase systems, they might be of much scientific a...
متن کاملAmylolytic Lactobacillus strains from Bulgarian fermented beverage boza.
The lactic acid fermentation is a worldwide method for cereal processing. Great diversity of fermented foods and drinks is produced with the participation of amylolytic lactic acid bacteria (ALAB). In the present study the ALAB content of the Bulgarian cereal beverage "boza" was investigated. Two strains, Bom 816 and N3, were found to possess significant amylolytic activity. The strains' identi...
متن کاملElectrophoretic transfer as a technique for the detection and identification of plant amylolytic enzymes in polyacrylamide gels.
An electrophoretic transfer technique was developed for the specific identification of isozymes of starch debranching enzyme, alpha-amylase, and beta-amylase. Amylolytic enzymes are separated by native polyacrylamide slab gel electrophoresis and proteins in gels are electrophoretically transferred through starch-containing polyacrylamide gels. Each amylolytic enzyme degrades starch in the trans...

Screening of3000 soil samples collected from cities of four different provinces of Iran for starch-hydrolysing bacteria revealed that the nature is enriched with Streptomyces species capable of producing amylolytic enzymes. Among the bacterial isolates, one of the high starch-degrading strains was selected for further microbiological identification and also amylolytic enzyme(s) characteriza...
متن کاملPurification and Characterization of a Highly Efficient Calcium-Independent α-Amylase from Talaromyces pinophilus 1-95
Alpha-amylase is a very important enzyme in the starch conversion process. Most of the α-amylases are calcium-dependent and exhibit poor performance in the simultaneous saccharification and fermentation process of industrial bioethanol production that uses starch as feedstock. In this study, an extracellular amylolytic enzyme was purified from the culture broth of newly isolated Talaromyces pin...
