Nuevos nombres para antiguas especies fúngicas de importancia médica

Rev. chil. infectol; 40 (5), 2023
En las últimas décadas ha existido un reordenamiento de los géneros y especies fúngicas de importancia médica debido a los constantes avances en la biología molecular. Desde la declaración de Amsterdam en el año 2011, se han ido abandonando la taxonomía de dos nombres (sexual y asexual) por cada...

Testes bioquímicos para identificação de leveduras na medicina veterinária - revisão de literatura

As leveduras são fungos de importância à medicina veterinária por causarem doenças infecciosas em diferentes hospedeiros animais. A presente revisão de literatura teve como objetivo relatar os principais testes bioquímicos capazes de auxiliar na identificação de fungos leveduriformes de interess...

Optimization of the ellagic acid synthesis process at the bioreactor level using non-conventional yeasts

Abstract Ellagic acid (EA) is a phenolic biomolecule. For its biosynthesis, a source of ellagitannins is required, such as strawberries and yeasts, as precursors of the tannase and β-glucosidase enzymes responsible for hydrolysis of ellagitannins. Two experimental mixture designs were applied., varying ...

Avaliação da interação entre leveduras isoladas de kombucha e bactérias probióticas

Um dos maiores desafios no desenvolvimento de produtos probióticos é entender como os microrganismos interagem entre si e com o hospedeiro. Quando falamos em alimentos fermentados tradicionais, este obstáculo aumenta porque a matriz alimentar já possui um microbioma intrínseco. No entanto, também ...

Pharmaceutical co-crystals of posaconazole for improvement of physicochemical properties

Abstract Posaconazole exerts an extended spectrum of antifungal activity against various strains of clinically relevant moulds and yeasts. In recent years, antifungal triazole posaconazole has become increasingly important for the prophylaxis and treatment of systemic mycoses. After oral administration o...

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...

Produção de L-asparaginase pela levedura Leucosporidium muscorum CRM 1648 isolada de sedimento marinho coletado na Península Antártica

L-asparaginase (L-ASNase) é uma enzima com propriedades interessantes para a indústria médica, farmacêutica e de alimentos, que tem recebido atenção especial, inclusive no Brasil, por fazer parte do protocolo de tratamento de distúrbios linfoproliferativos, como a leucemia linfoblástica aguda (LL...

Saccharomyces cerevisiae populations and other yeasts associated with indigenous beers (chicha) of Ecuador

Braz. j. microbiol; 49 (4), 2018
ABSTRACT Chicha, a type of beer made mainly with maize or cassava, is a traditional fermented beverage of the Andean region. There have only been a few studies on yeasts associated with chicha fermentation, and the species diversity occurring during the production of this beverage is not known. The objec...

The isolation of pentose-assimilating yeasts and their xylose fermentation potential

Braz. j. microbiol; 49 (1), 2018
ABSTRACT For the implementation of cellulosic ethanol technology, the maximum use of lignocellulosic materials is important to increase efficiency and to reduce costs. In this context, appropriate use of the pentose released by hemicellulose hydrolysis could improve de economic viability of this process....

Isolation and characterization of yeasts from fermented apple bagasse as additives for ruminant feeding

Braz. j. microbiol; 47 (4), 2016
Abstract Solid-state fermentation can be used to produce feeds for ruminants, which can provide an enriched population of yeasts to improve ruminal fermentation. Fermentation of apple bagasse was performed to obtain a yeast-rich product, with the objective of isolating, identifying, and characterizing ye...
