Tropical gar, Atractosteus tropicus Gill, 1863, is an ancient freshwater fish that commercially cultivated in southern Mexico. Currently, there a specific diet for its culture; however, the addition of probiotics has not been investigated. The objective this study was to evaluate supplementation live yeast Debaryomyces hansenii A. juveniles on growth, productive parameters, survival, somatic in...

Konya Kuflu Tulum cheese is a well-known variety of Turkish mold-ripened cheeses produced by cutting the mature into pieces to allow filamentous fungi grow on its surface in cool and humid atmosphere cellars or caves. The aim present study was determine fungal flora using 54 8 yeasts that were isolated from 26 samples. Internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequencing indicated 53 mold isolates Peni...

Yeasts and molds can grow on or in eggs, causing spoilage. Washed and unwashed eggs (treatments) were collected aseptically on three separate days (replications) from a commercial processing facility and stored for 10 weeks at 4 degrees C. Ten eggs from each treatment were sampled weekly (110 eggs per treatment per replication). Yeasts and molds were enumerated from external shell rinses by pla...

Production of smear-ripened cheese critically depends on the surface growth of multispecies microbial consortia comprising bacteria and yeasts. These microorganisms often originate from the cheese-making facility and, over many years, have developed into rather stable, dairy-specific associations. While commercial smear starters are frequently used, it is unclear to what degree these are able t...
