Fluconazole in vitro susceptibility test results for 256,882 isolates of Candida spp. were collected from 142 sites in 41 countries from June 1997 to December 2007. Data were collected for 197,619 isolates tested with voriconazole from 2001 to 2007. A total of 31 different species of Candida were isolated. Increased rates of isolation of the common non-albicans species C. glabrata (10.2% to 11....

In this study, we overcame the limitations of single-enzyme system catalysis by codisplaying Candida rugosa lipase 1 (CRL1) and Rhizopus oryzae (ROL) on cell surfaces whole-cell catalyst Pichia pastoris to produce biodiesel from tallow seed oil. We screened double antibiotic-resistant strains tributyrin plates, performed second electroporation based single-displayed ROL GS115/KpRS recombinants ...

Magnetic silica aerogel in hydrophobic and hydrophilic forms were used as support to immobilize Candida rugosa lipase by adsorption method. Response surface methodology (RSM) was employed to study the effects of the three most important immobilization parameters, namely enzyme/support ratio (0.3-0.5, w/w), immobilization time (60-120 min) and alcohol percentage (20-40, %v/v) on the specific act...

This study investigated effect of virgin coconut oil (VCO)-derived fatty acids on the alteration lipid profiles and liver tissues high fat diet (HFD) fed mice. The initial mixture was successfully obtained via hydrolysis process using Candida rugosa lipase (CRL). Enrichment medium chain (MCFA) from acid distillation developed to achieve 3 fractions including Fraction I (MCFA mainly C8 C10), II ...

Lipases from Candida rugosa (CRL) and lipase isoforms A and B from Candida antarctica (CAL-A and CAL-B) were adsorbed on aminated supports in the presence of detergents to have individual lipase molecules. Then, one fraction was washed to eliminate the detergent, and both preparations were treated with glutaraldehyde. The presence of detergent during the cross-linking of the lipases to the supp...

We report a case of intravenous catheter-associated fungemia caused by Candida rugosa; this is the first report of such an infection in a human. Multiple cultures of blood taken over a 24-h period and of the intravenous catheter tip were positive for this unusual isolate. The patient was treated with intravenous amphotericin B and made an uneventful recovery. Intravenous cannulae and other intr...

Ion exchange resins and immobilized lipase as heterogeneous catalysts are used to synthesize biodiesel for alternative fossil fuels. The use of ion in the solid activated phase can ease separation process. Furthermore, be reactivated repeatedly, reducing need catalysts. On other hand, an enzyme is biodegradable catalyze transesterification process produce with a lower alcohol-to-oil ratio, mini...
