Evaluación de MALDI-TOF MS para la identificación de levaduras patógenas oportunistas de muestras clínicas

Rev. chil. infectol; 36 (6), 2019
Resumen La espectrometría de masas MALDI-TOF MS es una técnica rápida y sencilla para identificar microorganismos por análisis proteico. Se estudiaron 304 aislados de levaduras procedentes de micosis superficiales y profundas, con el objetivo de comparar tres métodos: convencional (bioquímico y mor...

Avaliação antifúngica de uma solução à base de glucoprotamina e do óleo essencial de Cymbopogon citratusem leveduras de ambiente hospitalar

O objetivo deste estudo foi de avaliar a atividade antifúngica de uma solução à base de glucoprotamina (GLU) e de óleo essencial (OE) de Cymbopogon citratus. Candida tropicalis, Claviceps lusitaniae, Meyerozyma (Pichia) guilliermondii e Candida parapsilosis foram isoladas das su...

Effective diffusion coefficients and bioconversion rates of inhibitory compounds in flocs of Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Background: Fermentation strategies for bioethanol production that use flocculating Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast need to account for the mechanism by which inhibitory compounds, generated in the hydrolysis of lignocellulosic materials, are tolerated and detoxified by a yeast floc. Results: Diffusion co...

National production of certified reference fungal cultures

Rev. argent. microbiol; 51 (3), 2019
Reference fungal cultures (RFCs) are essential for the internal quality control of laboratories. The production of these cultures requires standardized procedures (IRAM 14950:2016 and ISO 17034:2016 standards) carried out by a recognized and accredited laboratory. The aim of this work was to produce RFC ...

Yeast diversity in Vitis non-vinifera ecosystems

Rev. argent. microbiol; 51 (3), 2019
The surface of grapes lodges a complex community of yeast species responsible for spontaneous alcoholic fermentation. The study of indigenous Saccharomyces and "non-Saccharomyces" yeasts during grape must fermentation constitutes a major research area in microbial enology. Although there are detailed stu...

An efficient method of Yarrowia lipolytica immobilization using oil- and emulsion-modified bacterial cellulose carriers

Background: Yarrowia lipolytica is a nonconventional, dimorphic yeast with multiple biotechnological applications. Considering the size of Y. lipolytica cells and a plethora of its morphological forms (spherical cells or hyphae and pseudohyphae), it is highly difficult to select a suitable carrier for th...

Co-production of ethanol and biodiesel from sweet sorghum juice in two consecutive fermentation steps

Background: Sugars from sweet sorghum stalks can be used to produce ethanol and also to grow oleaginous yeasts. Instead of two separate processes, in this paper we propose a different route producing ethanol and microbial oil in two consecutive fermentation steps. Results: Three yeasts were compared in t...

Adaptive evolution and selection of stress-resistant Saccharomyces cerevisiae for very high-gravity bioethanol fermentation

Background: In industrial yeasts, selection and breeding for resistance to multiple stresses is a focus of current research. The objective of this study was to investigate the tolerance to multiple stresses of Saccharomyces cerevisiae obtained through an adaptive laboratory evolution strategy involving a...

Yeasts and filamentous fungi in psittacidae and birds of prey droppings in midwest region of Brazil: a potential hazard to human health

Braz. j. biol; 79 (3), 2019
Abstract Birds of prey and from Psittacidae family are host to fungal microbiota and play an important role in the epidemiology of zoonoses. Few studies in the literature have characterized mycelial and yeast fungi in the droppings of these birds and correlated the isolates with the zoonotic potential o...
