Killer yeasts are able to produce toxins that antagonize the growth of susceptible yeasts cells of the same species or the ones that are related to them. Killer strains are resistant to their own toxins but can be sensitive to killer proteins of other yeasts. The killer proteins of Pichia spp. are known for its broad spectrum of antifungal activity including pathogens such as Candida albicans. ...

In vitro susceptibility of 58 isolates of Pichia anomala to five antifungal drugs using two broth microdilution methods (CLSI and EUCAST) was analyzed. Low susceptibility to itraconazole was observed. Fluconazole, voriconazole, amphotericin B, and caspofungin showed good antifungal activity, although relatively high drug concentrations were necessary to inhibit the isolates.

The enantioselective synthesis of Anomala osakana pheromone and Janus integer pheromone has been achieved without using any protecting groups. The synthesis involved using an asymmetric alkynylation to obtain gamma-hydroxy-alpha,beta-acetylenic esters with high ee (84%) and yields ( approximately 80%), followed by selective hydrogenation and lactonization in high overall yields (87% and 89%).

A new species of Anomala Samouelle (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae) is described from the Northern Territory of Australia. The new species is diagnosed by the single tooth along the external margin of protibia, medially interrupted marginal bead on pronotal base and the clypeus weakly reflexed anteriorly. The illustrated diagnoses of the remaining Australian species and the key to their id...

The nuclear-encoded chloroplast-expressed glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase (GPAT) gene has been found to be single-copy in a number of angiosperm families. In this study we investigated the phylogenetic utility of the GPAT gene at the interspecific level using the genus Paeonia (Paeoniaceae) as an example. An approximately 2.3- to 2.6-kb fragment of the GPAT gene, containing a large intron ...

Five new ichneumon wasp species are described from South Africa: Campoplex baal sp. n., diablo mephisto Casinaria brachycera n. and Hyposoter nanodraco An updated identification key to the Afrotropical is given. Dusona miranda (Szépligeti, 1908) first reported Kenya, hitherto unknown male described. anomala (Seyrig, 1935) Ethiopia, Charops electrinus Vas, 2020 reunionis (Benoit, 1957) Africa.

Phenolic compounds are natural substances that can be obtained from plants. Many of them potent growth inhibitors foodborne pathogenic microorganisms, however, phenolic activities against spoilage yeasts rarely studied. In this study, planktonic and biofilm growth, the adhesion capacity Pichia anomala, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Schizosaccharomyces pombe Debaryomyces hansenii were investigated i...

A new Brazilian leafhopper genus of the subfamily Neocoelidiinae is proposed: Takiyaella gen. nov. based on T. sexguttata (Chiamolera & Cavichioli, 2003) et comb. and five species: anomala sp. nov., coelhomarquesae daniela from state Rio de Janeiro; cavichiolii Paraná, mejdalanii Minas Gerais. distribution map identification key to species are provided.

In this report, we present the find of Paeonia anomala L. (Paeoniaceae), a species included in Red Data Book Tyumen Region (Krasnaia…, 2020). All locations, known earlier, have been found northwards presented finding. 2022, P. was pine forest experiencing anthropogenic pressure. The origin new location is related to unintentional penetration species.
