Toxicity and accumulation of Cd2+ in yeasts were studied in eight different yeast species. The adaptation to toxic concentration of this metal was dependent on the production of extracellular yeast glycoproteins. The highest concentration of Cd2+ ions in the growth medium was tolerated by a Hansenula anomala, strain while the lowest tolerance was found by the strain of species Saccharomyces cer...

bioconversion of cellulosic material into bioethanol needs cellulase complex enzymesthat contain endoglucanase, exoglucanase and beta glucosidase. one of the most important organisms that produce cellulases is the filamentous fungi, trichoderma reesei which able to secrete large amounts of different cellulases. these enzymes are probably the most widely used cellulases industrially, however, th...

Hexose oxidase (HOX) is an enzyme that catalyses the oxidation of C6-sugars to their corresponding lactones. A hexose oxidase enzyme produced from a nonpathogenic and nontoxigenic genetically engineered strain of the yeast Hansenula polymorpha has been developed for use in several food applications. It is encoded by the hexose oxidase gene from the red alga Chondrus crispus that is not known to...

Hunt, D. E. (Charles V. Chapin Hospital, Providence, R.I.). Amino acids as protective compounds in ultraviolet-irradiated Hansenula wingei. J. Bacteriol. 88:893-895. 1964.-"Prefeeding" Hansenula wingei with small concentrations of either tryptophan, cystine, tyrosine, phenylalanine, leucine, cysteine, threonine, isoleucine, ethionine, norvaline, or histidine protected this yeast against inactiv...

Monoclonal antibodies were obtained after fusion of mouse myeloma cells with spleen cells isolated from mice primed with a crude extract of yeast killer toxin produced by a strain of Hansenula anomala. Hybridomas were selected by specific immunoassay reaction of their fluid with crude yeast killer toxin extract. Among the monoclonal antibodies, which were characterized by the Western blot techn...

In the yeast Hansenula polymorpha the development and turnover of peroxisomes is readily achieved by manipulation of the cultivation conditions. The organelles massively develop when the cells are incubated in the presence of methanol as the sole source of carbon and energy. However, they are rapidly and selectively degraded when methanol-grown cells are placed at conditions of repression of me...

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...
