Many species of yeasts exist in nature in haploid form. If strongly heterothallic, strains of such species produce no ascospores when tested individually. They do mate if sexually reactive strains of opposite sex are mixed on a sporulation medium. In 1952, L. J. Wickerham and K. A. Burton (J. Bacteriol. 63:449, 1952) reported that all strains of an imperfect form known variously as Dematium cho...

The new colorimetric Vitek 2 YST card was evaluated for identification of yeasts (136 strains) with respect to the influence of different source media. The Vitek 2 YST card achieved satisfactory results for all yeast species tested, with the exception of Candida guilliermondii, Candida norvegensis, Candida parapsilosis, Candida rugosa, and Candida tropicalis. After simple additional tests, 93.7...

Three new depsidones, botryorhodines E-G (1-3), and two new isoindolinones, meyeroguillines A and B (7 and 9), along with five known compounds were isolated from an endophytic fungus Meyerozyma guilliermondii, derived from the mangrove plant Kandelia obovata. Their structures were elucidated by 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy and high resolution mass spectrometry (HREIMS). Compounds 1-6 exhibited st...

production of several yeast products occur in presence of mixtures of monosaccharides. to study effect of xylose and glucose mixtures with system aeration and nitrogen source as the other two operative variables on xylitol production by pichia guilliermondii, the present work was defined. artificial neural network (ann) strategy was used to athematically show interplay between these three contr...

Pichia guilliermondii is a Crabtree-negative yeast that does not normally exhibit respirofermentative metabolism under aerobic conditions, and methods to trigger this metabolism may have applications for physiological study and industrial applications. In the present study, CAT8, which encodes a putative global transcriptional activator, was disrupted in P. guilliermondii. This yeast's ethanol ...

the aim of this study was to evaluate the performances of methods such as sequencing of the internal transcribed spacer (its) and 26s (d1/d2) regions of ribosomal dna, rflp analysis of the its region and commercial biochemical test kit for the identification of the yeasts isolated during spontaneous fermentation of fresh crushed pineapple juice. the experiments were conducted in thailand and au...

Yeasts belonging to the genus Dekkera/Brettanomyces, especially the species Dekkera bruxellensis, have long been associated with the production of volatile phenols responsible for off-flavour in wines. According to recent reports, the species Pichia guilliermondii could also produce these compounds at the initial stages of fermentation. Based on the abundance of P. guilliermondii in Patagonian ...

The fermentation and aerobic metabolism of cellodextrins by 14 yeast species or strains was monitored. When grown aerobically, Candida wickerhamii, C. guilliermondii, and C. molischiana metabolized cellodextrins of degree of polymerization 3 to 6. C. wickerhamii and C. molischiana also fermented these substrates, while C. guilliermondii fermented only cellodextrins of degree of polymerization l...

Recent years have seen an increase in the use of lignocellulosic materials development bioproduct, biorefinery technologies focused on process integration for production different valuable coproducts order to reduce overall processing cost. In this study, agricultural wastes from rice straw were used co-production bioethanol and xylitol. Where is produced cellulosic fraction xylitol hemicellulo...
