We determined the genome sequence of the thermotolerant yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus strain NBRC1777. The genome of strain NBRC1777 is composed of 4,912 open reading frames (ORFs) on 8 chromosomes, with a total size of 10,895,581 bp, including mitochondrial DNA.

Background: Inulinase is widely found in microorganisms and higher plants. It catalyzes the reaction of hydrolysis inulin, which present tubers roots many plants, to fructose a small amount glucose.
 Inulin one several plant-based polysaccharides that contain glucose or fructose. used as substrate industrial fermentation processes food industry due its relatively cheap abundant source for ...

In the present study Kluyveromyces marxianus isolated from paneer whey was employed for biomass production. Various parameters like pH, temperature and nitrogen source were optimized for maximum biomass yield. The biomass yield was studied to vary with different nitrogen sources, pH and temperature. Ammonium sulphate, ammonium nitrate, beef extract and yeast extract were used as nitrogen source...

Biomass of Kluyveromyces marxianus was used to prepare feed formulations for ornamental fish-black mollies (Poecilia latipinna). The cytotoxicity of the fungal biomass was studied using 3T3 cell lines. Three different formulations of the biomass were used in the feeding trial. Formulation I was prepared as 100% dry cells, formulation II was prepared as 50% dry cells+50%starch and Formulation II...

The extent to which the order of genes along chromosomes is conserved between Saccharomyces cerevisiae and related species was studied by analysing data from DNA sequence database. As expected, the extent of gene order conservation decreases with increasing evolutionary distance. About 59% of adjacent gene pairs in Kluyveromyces lactis or K. marxianus are also adjacent in S. cerevisiae, and a f...

Kluyveromyces marxianus var. marxianus was found to secrete a large amount of extracellular inulinase in to the medium. The optimization of inulinase production using copra waste as a carbon source was performed with statistical methodology based on experimental designs. The screening of eighteen nutrients for their influence on inulinase production was achieved using a Plackett– –Burman design...

BACKGROUND Targeting of cellular proteins to the extracellular environment is directed by a secretory signal sequence located at the N-terminus of a secretory protein. These signal sequences usually contain an N-terminal basic amino acid followed by a stretch containing hydrophobic residues, although no consensus signal sequence has been identified. In this study, simple modeling of signal sequ...

The effect of temperature on the growth of yeasts during the production of Sethemi, South African naturally fermented milk (NFM), was studied by incubating raw milk and milk inoculated with selected yeast strains at 7, 15, 25 and 37 °C. The different temperatures were selected to represent the average ambient temperatures around Bloemfontein, South Africa, during winter, spring, summer, and in ...
