Vitamin D deficiency causes osteoporosis, osteopenia, fractures, rickets and more recently is linked with some chronic illnesses such as cancer. Because of the safety and probiotic properties of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, we hypothesized that yeast cells enriched with cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) could represent a solution for prevention or treatment of vitamin D deficiency. In this st...

the potential of heat inactivated saccharomyces cerevisiae in the bioremoval and reduction ofcr (vi) ions from wastewaters was evaluated in terms of metal uptake in time and at equilibrium, andbiosorption efficiency, by varying ph, biosorbent doses, contact time and temperature, in batch mode. during the sorption process, the heat inactivated biomass of the yeast saccharomyces cerevisiae is cap...

In this researchsaccharomyces cerevisiae (baker’s yeast) was used as a cheap, readily accessible, selective, efficient, and green bio-catalyst in a chemo selective reduction of carbonyl group to hydroxyl group. In this green procedure three substrates e.g. (3-(3-nitrophenyl)aziridin-2-yl)-1-phenyl-methanone, pyruvate ester, and 2-acetyl-γ-butyrolactone were r...

The Biosorption property of S. cerevisiae for chromium uptake was investigated in an immobilized cell bioreactor. Saw dust was utilized as the solid bed in the reactor. Adsorption of S. cerevisiae on saw dust obeys a first order reaction kinetic up to 6 hours. The immobilized biomass particles are porous and exist in the new generation of biological adsorbent. Chromium biosorption was studied i...

BACKGROUNDS: Optimization of microbial compositions and load in live food during the process of bioencapsulation is one of the most important concerns in aquaculture, as it can promote the growth and feeding parameters of fish larvae. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to determine the growth and feeding performance of Persian sturgeon larvae fed with bioencapsulated D. magna with Saccharomy...

in this study, phenolic compounds of evening primrose leaves (oenothera biennis) were extracted with aceton 70%, ethanol 70% and methanol 70%. total phenolic content of aceton extract was significantly higher than the ethanolic and methanolic extracts. extracts were tested for their antimicrobial activity against lactobacillis plantarum and saccharomyces cerevisiae, using micro broth dilution m...
