The experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of yeast culture (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) supplementation on ruminal fermentation in 20 Holstein dairy cows divided into control and experimental groups, each group of 10 cows. The animals received a diet based on maize silage (19 kg), alfalfa silage (15 kg), meadow hay (1.5 kg), extracted rapeseed meal (1 kg) and concentrate mixture (9.5 kg...

CHROMagar, a chromogenic differential culture medium, is claimed to facilitate the isolation and presumptive identification of certain clinically important yeast species, e.g., Candida albicans. This study evaluated the cost-effectiveness and time advantage of using it in comparison with Sabouraud dextrose agar (SDA). Three possible pathways, each of which included the use of one or both media,...

Yeast cells have controllable biosorption on metallic ions during metabolism. However, few studies were dedicated to using yeast-regulated biomimetic mineralization process to control the strontium-doped positions in calcium phosphate microcapsules. In this study, the yeast cells were allowed to pre-adsorb strontium ions metabolically and then served as sacrificing template for the precipitatio...

phenotypic similarities within a group of 103 S cerevisiae strains that belong to the above mentioned strain Computational analysis Phenotypic tests Phenotyping included the evaluation of 19 traits used in yeast taxonomy [8] or for wine yeast strain selection. Yeast cells were withdrawn from frozen aliquots (glycerol, 30%, v/v, at -80oC) and were pre-inoculated in 10 ml of the culture medium to...

The development of cloning vectors for green fluorescent protein (GFP) and the simplicity of yeast reverse genetics allow straightforward labeling of yeast proteins in living cells. Budding and fission yeast are therefore attractive organisms in which to study dynamic cellular processes such as growth, cell division, and morphogenesis using live cell fluorescence microscopy. This article focuse...

The modern food industry offers the consumer bread baked with sourdough using various biologically active components of plant origin. In production yeast-free bread, it is advisable to use a from strains Streptococcus thermophilus selected by Gorsk State Agricultural University. authors have compiled starter culture local lactic acid microorganisms Research Institute Biotechnology Gorsky Agrari...

We have extended the method of transposon mutagenesis to the eukaryote, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. A bacterial transposon containing a selectable yeast gene can be transposed into a cloned fragment of yeast DNA in Escherichia coli, and the transposon insertion can be returned to the yeast genome by homologous recombination. Initially, the cloned yeast DNA fragment to be mutagenized was transform...

Yeast communities associated with sugarcane leaves, stems and rhizosphere during different phases of plant development were studied near Campos, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Atmospheric temperature, soil granulometry and pH, and sugar cane juice degree Brix and pH were determined. Yeast communities associated with sugarcane were obtained after cellular extraction by shaking, blending and shaking ...

Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) experiments were performed at selected temperatures (37, 41, and 43 degrees C) to obtain comprehensive material balance and performance data for several promising strains of thermotolerant yeast. Parameters measured were ethanol concentration, yeast cell density, and residual sugar and cellulose concentrations. The three yeasts Saccharomyces ...
