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...

Although more than 3000 antibiotics have been reported from Actinomycetes/ higher fungi; biotechnological potential of yeasts and yeast-like fungi with respect to production of antimicrobial compounds has not been sufficiently investigated. We examined the antimicrobial activity of 11 strains of Aureobasidium pullulans (two new isolates and nine standard strains). All the strains of Aureobasidi...

In this research, 11 yeast strains with ability to grow on petroleum sludge were isolated from effluent of a petroleum refinery. Based on growth on mineral media contaminated petroleum sludge, two isolates were selected as the super strains. Meanwhile, results based on biochemical and morphological experiments on the strains indicated that the two selected isolates belonged to Candida and Proto...

conclusions we found a marked increase in the incidence of non-albicans species (48.2%) among neutropenic patients. only a few strains failed to produce extracellular enzymes. finally, in addition to fluconazole, caspofungin can be considered as the first line treatment against candida species among neutropenic patients. results a total of 110 yeast strains isolated from urine and oral cavities...

objective: fungal nail infection (onychomycosis) is a common disease in all communities consisting about 50 percent of nail disorders. yeasts are one of the important causative agents of onychomycosis. identification of the yeast species is important in the epidemiological and therapeutical point of views. the aim of the present study is the precise species identification of the pathogenic yeas...

Background: Plant biomass and agricultural waste products disposal is a serious problem in agriculture based countries. These wastes, usually rich in xylan can be satisfactorily converted to industrially important and useful products by efficient biotechnological application of potent xylanase producing bacteria which generally have high temperature and pH optima....

Background and Purpose: By using advanced detection/identification methods, the list of emerging uncommon opportunistic yeast infections is rapidly expanding worldwide. Our aim in the present study was sequence-based species delineation of previously unidentified yeasts obtained from a clinically yeast collection. Materials and Methods: A total of twenty three out of the 855 (5.7%) yeast isolat...

This study aimed to isolate the endophytic fungi of soursop leaves that have potential as anti-yeast. Soursop were collected from 3 locations in West Java, Indonesia. The secondary metabolites produced by extracted with ethyl acetate and tested for anti-yeast activity against Saccharomyces cerevisiae Candida tropicalis. Profile extracts contents characterization was carried out using thin-layer...
