Rothia mucilaginosa is an opportunistic pathogen in the human oral cavity and pharynx. We found that R. mucilaginosa DY-18, a clinical isolate from a persistent apical periodontitis lesion, had biofilm-like structures. Similar structures were also observed on R. mucilaginosa ATCC25296. To further study these structures, we determined the complete genome sequence of DY-18 and found it a 2.26-Mb ...

Abstract: Cerrado is the second largest phytogeographic domain in Brazil, with a huge ethnobotany variety, including fruit species that stand out for their economic, industrial, biotechnological and medicinal potential. The objective of this study was to characterize diversity culturable yeasts potential production hydrolytic enzymes fruits 13 native plants Brazil. Sequencing 26S rRNA gene iden...

The carotenoids have vast medical, industrial, dietary, and pharmaceutical importance due to their provitamin A precursor, immunomodulator, antioxidant photoprotective activity. purpose of the research was optimize production using Rhodotorula mucilaginosa from artichoke agroindustrial waste as a low-cost substrate. artichokes bracts bleached by sodium hypochlorite (NaClO 2%) characterized thro...

Torularhodin is a fungus-derived carotenoid, and the lack of downstream processing torularhodin still challenge for its large-scale production. To support industrial production torularhodin, this work initially evaluated efficiency carotenoid release from Rhodotorula mucilaginosa using thermal acid treatment, saponification ultrasound-assisted enzymatic lysis. Based on polarity, was then purifi...
