A total of 202 cultures of yeasts were isolated and characterized from king crab and Dungeness crab meat. A yeastlike organism, resembling Aureobasidium pullulans, and 15 different species distributed among the genera Rhodotorula, Cryptococcus, Torulopsis, Candida, and Trichosporon were represented. Nine of the species grew at 5 C or lower. Although two of the species grew at 37 C, none of the ...

microbial oil has high similarity to the oil obtained from plants and animals. they are renewable sources that can be used for different purposes such as production of biofuels. biofuels are renewable, biodegradable, and nontoxic, which makes them highly environmentally friendly. producing oil from yeasts has more advantages than that from plants. accordingly, isolation of oleaginous yeasts wit...

Partial gyrB gene sequence analysis of 17 isolates from human and environmental sources revealed 13 clusters of strains and identified them as Burkholderia glathei clade (BGC) bacteria. The taxonomic status of these clusters was examined by whole-genome sequence analysis, determination of the G+C content, whole-cell fatty acid analysis and biochemical characterization. The whole-genome sequence...

The air we breathe contains suspended dust particles which can host filamentous fungi that cause respiratory problems and allergies in humans. Generally, the propagules survive depending upon environmental conditions, such as humidity, temperature cleanness. aim of this research work was to detect outdoor at city Morelia, Mich, México. So far similar study is not reported city. For purpose, sam...

Rhodotorula species are emerging pathogens in immunocompromised patients. We report the in vitro activities of eight antifungals against 64 Rhodotorula isolates collected in surveillance programs between 1987 and 2003. Rhodotorula strains are resistant in vitro to fluconazole (MIC at which 50% of the isolates tested are inhibited [MIC(50)], >128 microg/ml) and caspofungin (MIC(50), >8 microg/ml...
