Exophiala jeanselmei, a saprobe in the environment, is an opportunistic pathogen. We present a rare case of subcutaneous phaeohyphomycosis caused by E jeanselmei in a man aged 66 years with a 3-month history of a tender swelling on the dorsal area of the left middle finger. Purulent fluid was aspirated from the area, and the culture yielded black colonies composed of conidiophores, phialides, a...

conclusions candida strains isolated from newborns, elderly patients, and intensive care patients, identified and isolates from blood cultures, should be studied for antifungal susceptibility for management of the treatment. our university hospital is a recently opened center and these are the first data of our center. gradually, as the number of patients increases, this data will be evaluated ...

in this study fungi isolated from the effluent of ethanol factories were identified. optimal conditions for single cell protein (scp) production and cod reduction of sugar beet stillage are specified for a species of hansenula in a continuous culture. under these conditions 5.7 g dm-3 biomass was produced and 31% of cod was reduced without addition of further nutrients to the beet molasses stil...

dead yeast cells are an abundant residue of the brazilian ethanol industry and the industries still don’t have a proper or desirable destiny for all these cells, which means tons of vitamins and proteins that have not a major end. in the other hand, heavy metal residues are a problem, especially for leather industry, where brazil is also a great producer. in this work, dead yeast cells were use...

bunch rot disease is one of the most important diseases of grapes caused by the storage rot fungi such as aspergillus tubingensis and penicillium crustosum. in this study, some biocontrol mechanisms of two pichia membranaefaciens strains such as competitive potential, the siderophore and toxin production capacity, the interactions between yeast cells and fungal hyphae and also the ability of ly...

Berberine was loaded in yeast cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiaeas a novel pharmaceutical carrier to improve the treatment ofmany diseases. The yeast-encapsulated active materialsshowedhigh stability and bioavailability due to the enhanced solubility and sustained releasing. In this study, different characteristics of prepared berberine loaded yeast cells (loading capacity, release kinetic order...

The article presents the research results of effect activated diatomite as part a complex supplement on composition and ratio saturated unsaturated fatty acids in cow's milk. experiments were carried out dairy farm black-and-white cows. additive includes carrieractivated diatomite; fillers are DAPS-organic selenium, sunflower oil feed yeast crumbs. was included diet cows at rate 2% dry matter o...

Virulence of the opportunistic yeast, Candida albieans, involves the interplay of many complex changes including the yeast-hyphae transition, which mainly involves protein changes. Cell wall mannoproteins are found to be the main cause of adherence of C. albieans to epithel ial cells in the first step of an infection process. In the present study, cell wall mannoproteins of intact yeast wer...

Zinc (Zn) is an essential trace element in all living organisms, and the first eukaryotic Zn uptake transporter was discovered in the yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Zinc-enriched yeast is a currently available Zn supplement. The purpose of the investigation was to compare and evaluate the effect of Zn enriched yeast in rainbow trout. The fish (mean body weight 10 ± 0.5 g) were fed a commercia...

The possible use of Lactobacillus brevis IBRC-M10790 with degrading phytase activity was investigated in sourdough and Barbari bread –using 20 and 30% of sourdough in the formulation- in order to enhance the nutritional bioavailability, and the efficiency of the bacteria in decreasing phytate via using in sourdough was compared to yeast. Results showed that L. brevis ...
