Phylogeny of the genus Kluyveromyces inferred from the mitochondrial cytochrome-c oxidase II gene.
2000
A phylogenetic analysis of 17 species belonging to the genus Kluyveromyces and 12 reference and outgroup species was performed using mitochondrial cytochrome-c oxidase II gene sequences. The genus Kluyveromyces appears as a polyphyletic taxon formed by species included within the following four main groups. The Kluyveromyces phaffii group encompasses the species Kluyveromyces blattae, K. phaffii and Kluyveromyces yarrowii. The Kluyveromyces marxianus group is a monophyletic group consisting of the species Kluyveromyces aestuarii, Kluyveromyces dobzhanskii, Kluyveromyces lactis, K. marxianus and Kluyveromyces wickerhamii. The monophyletic Kluyveromyces thermotolerans group is formed by K. th…
Mannoproteins from the cell wall ofKluyveromyces lactis
1986
Wall mannoproteins from Kluyveromyces lactis have been solubilised by treatment of cell walls with sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) or zymolyase. While the former reagent liberates a large number of molecular species, zymolyase preferentially releases a high-molecular-weight material that is sensitive to endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidase H, and a 29-kDa molecule that reacts with the antiserum raised against a similar species from walls of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In contrast with observations on isolated walls of S. cerevisiae, dithiothreitol pretreatment of K. lactis walls does not enhance the effect of zymolyase upon mannoprotein release. However, the action of thiol agents is still necessary …
Dairy yeasts produce milk protein-derived antihypertensive hydrolysates
2013
Abstract The potential of 20 dairy yeast strains belonging to Debaryomyces hansenii , Kluyveromyces lactis and Kluyveromyces marxianus species was examined for the production of milk protein-derived antihypertensive hydrolysates. For this purpose yeast strains were grown in microbiological medium with casein or lactoferrin as sole nitrogen source, and the inhibitory effects of casein and lactoferrin hydrolysates (CSHs and LFHs) on angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) activity were determined. Based on the ACE-inhibitory activity, four CSHs and five LFHs were selected, and permeate fractions with molecular masses lower than 3 kDa (pCSHs and pLFHs) were obtained. In vitro ACE-inhibitory pote…
Exploring the yeast biodiversity of green table olive industrial fermentations for technological applications
2011
In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in identifying and characterizing the yeast populations associated with diverse types of table olive elaborations because of the many desirable technological properties of these microorganisms. In this work, a total of 199 yeast isolates were directly obtained from industrial green table olive fermentations and genetically identified by means of a RFLP analysis of the 5.8S-ITS region and sequencing of the D1/D2 domains of the 26S rDNA gene. Candida diddensiae, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Pichia membranifaciens were the most abundant yeast species isolated from directly brined Aloreña olives, while for Gordal and Manzanilla cultivars th…
Dairy Debaryomyces hansenii strains produce the antihypertensive casein-derived peptides LHLPLP and HLPLP
2015
The ability of dairy Debaryomyces hansenii, Kluyveromyces lactis and Kluyveromyces marxianus strains to release the casein-derived antihypertensive sequences RYLGY, AYFYPEL, LHLPLP, HLPLP, VPP and/or IPP was examined. Yeast strains were grown in medium with casein as sole nitrogen source and the yeast casein hydrolysates (CSHs) were analysed by HPLC-MS/MS to search for the six antihypertensive sequences. Only LHLPLP and HLPLP were identified in CSHs and exclusively in D. hansenii Dh1 and Dh14 hydrolysates in which both antihypertensive sequences represented approximately 6 (CSH Dh1) and 10% (CSH Dh14) of total peptide content. In addition, a complete analysis of selected CSHs by HPLC-MS/MS …
2-feniletanola biosintēze ar raugu Kluyveromyces lactis laktozi saturošos substrātos
2018
Fermentācijas procesā raugi spēj sintezēt aromātiskus savienojumus, tāpēc fermentācija ar raugiem ir alternatīva metode dabīgā 2-feniletanola iegūšanai. Darba mērķis bija izpētīt rauga Kluyveromyces lactis izmantošanas iespējas 2-feniletanola biosintēzē laktozi saturošos substrātos. Darbā tika noteikts piemērotākais K. lactis celms 2-feniletanola biosintēzei, tika izpētīta barotnes sastāva ietekme uz 2-PE producēšanu, 2-PE sintēzes dinamika fermentācijas laikā, K. lactis DSM 70799 2-feniletanola tolerance, kā arī tika veikta divfāžu ekstraktīvā fermentācija ar rapšu eļļu. Darbā tika aplūkoti trīs rūpniecībā izmantojami K. lactis celmi, no kuriem K. lactis DSM 70799 uzrādīja augstāko 2-fenil…
