Immobilized whole cells of Rhodotorula rubra MIM147 were used in a packed bed flow reactor for the enantioselective reduction ?-ketonitriles and obtainment key building block synthesis antidepressant drug duloxetine.

Due to the overexploitation of industrial fisheries, as principal source fish oil, well increasing replacement synthetic pigments for animal nutrition, we need find sustainable sources these essential nutrient productions. Marine Rhodotorula strains NCYC4007 and NCYC1146 were used determine biosynthesis docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) carotenoids by biotransforming raw glycerol, a waste product biod...

Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (RgPAL) from Rhodotorula glutinis JN-1 stereoselectively catalyzes the conversion of the l-phenylalanine into trans-cinnamic acid and ammonia, and was used in chiral resolution of dl-phenylalanine to produce the d-phenylalanine under acidic condition. However, the optimum pH of RgPAL is 9 and the RgPAL exhibits low catalytic efficiency at acidic side. Therefore, a mu...

Most eukaryotic oleaginous species are yeasts and among them the basidiomycete red yeast, Rhodotorula (Rhodosporidium) toruloides (Pucciniomycotina) is known to produce high quantities of lipids when grown in nitrogen-limiting media, and has potential for biodiesel production. The genome of the CGMCC 2.1609 strain of this oleaginous red yeast was sequenced using a hybrid of Roche 454 and Illumi...

The 1-oxaspiro[2.5]octane moiety is a common motif in many biologically active spiroepoxide compounds. Stereochemistry plays an important role in the action of these spiroepoxides, since the O-axial C3 epimers are predominantly responsible for biological activity. In view of this, the reactivity of the yeast epoxide hydrolase (YEH) from Rhodotorula glutinis towards both O-axial and O-equatorial...

The imperfect yeasts are divided by Lodder (1934) into two families, Rhodotorulaceae and Torulopsidaceae, distinguished by the occurrence of carotenoid pigments in the former. Lodder employed a form of the Molisch test to demonstrate the carotenoid nature of the pigments in Rhodotaceae. This involved covering a large mass of cells with an alcoholic potassium hydroxide solution and storing in th...

conclusions in humans, rhodotorula species have been recovered as commensal organisms from the nails, the skin, and the respiratory, gastrointestinal (gi), and urinary tracts. due to their presence in the gi flora, broad-spectrum antibiotics could contribute to their overgrowth in the gi tract. localized infections, such as peritonitis, due to rhodotorula species following infected peritoneal d...
