Saccharomyces species are emerging opportunistic fungal pathogens that can cause bloodstream infections in humans. These infections have often been associated with the ingestion of probiotics. Saccharomyces oesophagitis is a rare condition which has been described so far in only two publications. Here we report the case of a patient who was diagnosed with Saccharomyces oesophagitis. The clinica...

This chapter describes the importance of yeast in beer fermentation. Initially, the differences between Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Saccharomyces pastorianus in the production of “ale” and “lager” beers are analyzed. Then, the relationships between beer nutrients and yeast growth are discussed, with special emphasis on the production of the flavor compounds. The impact of the wort composition ...

The dramatic phenotypic changes that occur in organisms during domestication leave indelible imprints on their genomes. Although many domesticated plants and animals have been systematically compared with their wild genetic stocks, the molecular and genomic processes underlying fungal domestication have received less attention. Here, we present a nearly complete genome assembly for the recently...

Uma enorme variedade de espécies microrganismos tem sido usada como probiótico visando melhorar o equilíbrio microbiano intestinal, controlar e prevenir a colonização bactérias patogênicas promover crescimento na produção animal. Baseado nos diversos fatores benéficos dos agentes ação probiótica no organismo, objetivou-se avaliar eficácia das linhagens três formulações diferentes probióticos pe...

BACKGROUND Fermentation of bioethanol using lignocellulosic biomass as a raw material provides a sustainable alternative to current biofuel production methods by utilising waste food streams as raw material. Before lignocellulose can be fermented, it requires physical, chemical and enzymatic treatment in order to release monosaccharides, a process that causes the chemical transformation of gluc...

background worldwide, the incidence of inflammatory bowel disease (ibd) is increasing. this study aims to evaluate the diagnostic value of two serological markers, atypical perinuclear anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (atypical-p-anca) and anti-saccharomyces cerevisiae antibodies (asca), with the intent to determinetheir relationship to ulcerative colitis (uc) and crohn's disease (cd), in...
