Attachment of the yeast Rhodosporidium toruloides is mediated by adhesives localized at sites of bud cell development

Article Abstract:

Research was conducted to examine the adhesion of the basidiomycetous yeast Rhodosporidium toruloides to plant surfaces. Nonadherent fungal mutants were obtained after chemical mutagenesis with methane-sulfonic acid ethyl ester. Enzyme, lectin and chemical treatments revealed that the polar regions consisted of alkali-soluble materials. Results indicate that compounds localized at sites of bud development mediate the adhesion of R. toruloides to both barley leaf and polysterene surfaces.

Growth of Rhodosporidium toruloides strain DBVPG 6662 on dibenzothiophene crystals and orimulsion

Article Abstract:

The authors have investigated basidiomycete yeast Rhodosporidium toruloides strain DBVPG 6662 which grows on thiosulfate as sulfur source and glucose as a carbon source. The ability of this strain to utilize dibenzothiophene and related organic sulfur compounds occurring in fossil and oil fuels as sulfur source has been studied, and the results are presented.

Role of cystathionine [beta]-lyase in catabolism of amino acids to sulfur volatiles by genetic variants of Lactobacillus helveticus CNRZ 32

Article Abstract:

The role and mechanism of cystathionine [beta]-lyase (CBL) in the production of volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) from sulfur-containing amino acids/derivatives, namely, methionine, cysteine and cystathionine which was determined by using the genetic variants of Lactobacillus helveticus CNRZ 32 is described.
