Identification and characterization of yeasts isolated from the South Shetland Islands and the Antarctic Peninsula
(Springer Verlag, 2017)
© 2016, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg. Antarctica is considered one of the most extreme environments on Earth because of its low temperatures, dryness, high incidence of solar radiation and low nutrient availability. ...
Yeasts from autochthonal cheese starters: technological and functional properties
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2013-08)
Aims: The aim of this work was to identify 20 yeasts isolated from autochthonal cheese starters and evaluate their technological and functional properties. Methods and Results: The capacities of the yeasts to grow at ...
Diversity and extracellular enzymatic activities of yeasts isolated from King George Island, the sub-Antarctic region
(2012)
Background: Antarctica has been successfully colonized by microorganisms despite presenting adverse conditions for life such as low temperatures, high solar radiation, low nutrient availability and dryness. Although these ...
Evaluation of the biological control by the yeast Torulaspora globosa against Colletotrichum sublineolum in sorghum
(Springer, 2010-08-01)
The yeasts are microorganisms with great potential for biotechnological applications in diverse areas. The biological control of phytopathogens by yeasts has showed satisfactory results under laboratory conditions, and it ...
Levedura íntegra e derivados do seu processamento em rações para tilápia do Nilo: Aspectos hematológicos e histológicos
(2006-10-01)
The effects of inclusion of whole yeast, autolyzed yeast and yeast cell wall on hematological parameters and gut villus perimeter were evaluated in juvenile Nile tilapia, after 80 experimental days. Isoproteic (32.0% DP) ...
Occurrence of killer yeasts in leaf-cutting ant nests
(2002-12-01)
Killer activity was screened in 99 yeast strains isolated from the nests of the leaf-cutting ant Atta sexdens against 6 standard sensitive strains, as well as against each other. Among this yeast community killer activity ...
Polyphenolic substrates and dyes degradation by yeasts from 25 de Mayo/King George Island (Antarctica)
(Wiley, 2013-10-07)
Antarctica offers a range of extreme climatic conditions, such as low temperatures, high solar radiation and low nutrient availability, and constitutes one of the harshest environments on Earth. Despite that, it has been ...
Advances and Developments in Strategies to Improve Strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Processes to Obtain the Lignocellulosic Ethanol-A Review
(Humana Press Inc, 2012-04-01)
The conversion of biomass into ethanol using fast, cheap, and efficient methodologies to disintegrate and hydrolyse the lignocellulosic biomass is the major challenge of the production of the second-generation ethanol. ...
Yeasts in the nests of the leaf-cutter ant Acromyrmex balzani in a Savanna biome: exploitation of community and metabolic diversity
(2021-01-01)
The leaf-cutter ant Acromyrmex balzani is responsible for causing important losses in reforestation areas, crops, and pastures, and is frequently found in the Brazilian savanna (Cerrado). So far, there is no information ...
Antifungal activity and action mechanisms of yeasts isolates from citrus against Penicillium italicum
(2018-07-02)
Penicillium italicum (Blue mold) is a major postharvest disease of citrus. An alternative to controlling the disease is through the use of yeasts. The purpose of the present study was to screen effective yeast antagonists ...
