Anomala huangjianbini sp. n. is described from Chongqing, Fujian, Guangxi, Hunan, and Sichuan of China. Habitus male genitalia new species A. vitalisi Ohaus, 1914 are illustrated for purposes comparison. A distribution map both also provided.

The growth of yeasts that occur naturally in grape juice was quantitatively examined during the fermentation of four wines that had been inoculated with Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Although S. cerevisiae dominated the wine fermentations, there was significant growth of the natural species Kloeckera apiculata, Candida stellata, Candida colliculosa, Candida pulcherrima, and Hansenula anomala.

Aim Impacts of invasive species may vary across invasion gradients, owing to trait-based sorting of individuals through dispersal: those aggregating at invasion fronts may be more aggressive and voracious. We examine, in the field and laboratory, variation in the predatory impacts of an invasive Ponto-Caspian crustacean Hemimysis anomala G.O. Sars, 1907 at two sites along a spatiotemporal gradi...

The antimycotic activity of 16 o-nitrophenylhydrazones against strains of Hansenula anomala, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Candida parapsylosis, and Cryptococcus albidus was tested. All 16 compounds inhibited growth of the yeast strains. The inhibitory activity of the 4 methyl-derivatives substituted on the aromatic nucleus was particularly significant.

The draft genome sequence of the smut fungus Tilletiaria anomala UBC 951 (Basidiomycota, Ustilaginomycotina) is presented. The sequenced genome size is 18.7 Mb, consisting of 289 scaffolds and a total of 6,810 predicted genes. This is the first genome sequence published for a fungus in the order Georgefisheriales (Exobasidiomycetes).

BACKGROUND Operation of the Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR, China) imposes a new water fluctuation regime, including a prolonged winter submergence in contrast to the natural short summer flooding of the rivers. The contrasting water temperature regimes may remarkably affect the survival of submerged plants in the TGR. Plant survival in such prolonged flooding might depend on the carbohydrate stat...

It has been known for some time (Hansen, 1891) that organic esters may be produced in small amounts by some microorganisms as byproducts in their utilization of organic compounds. A detailed review of the literature to 1922 on aroma producing microorganisms is given by Omelianski (1923). The taxonomy of the yeast genus Hansenula, which contains species producing the greatest yields of ester, is...

Biosurfactant production by Pichia anomala PY1, a thermotorelant strain isolated from fermented food, was examined as grown in media containing various carbon and nitrogen sources. The optimal conditions for biosurfactant production included 4% soybean oil as carbon source at pH 5.5 at 30 degrees C for 7 d. Under these conditions, the surface tension of the medium decreased to 28 mN/m with oil ...

A new species was synthesized artificially by chromosome doubling of an interspecific hybrid between cassava and Manihot anomala. The ensuing polyploid type exhibits an apomictic nature and maintains its morphological characteristics in the progeny. It showed a 29% frequency of multiembryonic sacs in its examined ovules whereas the multiembryonic sacs were absent in the diploid type.
