Infections caused by Candida species manifest in a number of diseases, including candidemia, vulvovaginal candidiasis, endocarditis, and peritonitis. Candida species have been reported to possess lipolytic activity due to the secretion of lipolytic enzymes such as esterases, lipases and phospholipases. Extra-cellular hydrolytic enzymes seem to play an important role in Candida overgrowth. Candi...

Background: Earlier the fungal infection spectrum was considered to be only restricted mucocutaneous and cutaneous tissues. However, this consideration has now changed. The threatening rise in incidence of invasive mycosis is seen recently. Despite advancements diagnostic therapeutic modalities, high mortality rates are linked mycosis. most common cause bloodstream infections Candida spp. Among...

Kinetic resolution is one of the methods which allows obtaining enantiomerically pure compounds. In study presented herein, enantioselective biotransformations (R,S)-1-phenylethanol were performed with use various catalytic systems containing ionic liquids and n-heptane or toluene as a reaction medium, vinyl acetate isopropenyl an acetylating agent, lipases from Burkholderia cepacia Candida rug...

A significant bottleneck for the industrial application of lipases stems from their poor stability in presence commercial triglycerides. This is mainly due to inactivating effect products triglyceride oxidation (PTO), which are usually produced when oils and fats, being imported far countries, stored long periods. In this study, immobilization a lipase Candida rugosa on chitosan hydrogels has b...
