Increased electron donor and electron acceptor characters enhance the adhesion between oil droplets and cells of Yarrowia lipolytica as evaluated by …
2003
The adhesion of methyl ricinoleate droplets to cells of the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica was investigated. A new cytometric method, relying on the double staining of fatty globules with Nile Red and of cells with Calcofluor, enabled us to quantify methyl ricinoleate droplet adhesion to cells precultured on a hydrophilic or on a hydrophobic carbon source. In this last case, droplet adsorption was enhanced and a MATS (microbial adhesion to solvents) test revealed that this increase was due to Lewis acid-base interactions and not to an increase in the hydrophobic properties of the cell surface. These preliminary results demonstrate that the developed cytometric method is promising for various app…
Physiologic and biologic mechanisms induced in Yarrowia lipolytica in response to physico-chemical modifications of cells environment
2010
Hydrophobe compounds are known as carbon source which could be used by yeast like Yarrowia lipolytica for multi purposes. These compounds may cause disturbance in yeast but also reported as confer some resistance to cells towards environmental stress. Here, we study the role of methyl oleate as carbon source on resistance of Y. lipolytica in response to stress of an amphiphilic compound, -dodecalactone, and to heat shock. Results show that cells grown in oleate are more resistant to these stresses than cells grown in glucose. This work reveals the role of the lipids bodies in cells response to stress and that cells manifest in different ways in response to these stresses. An accumulation o…

Stymulacja rozkładu substancji ropopochodnych w skażonej glebie z wykorzystaniem nadtlenku wodoru i szczepionki Yarrowia lipolytica A101
2016
Skażenia substancjami ropopochodnymi stanowią ogromny problem, nie tylko w rolnictwie, ponieważ negatywnie wpływają na właściwości fizyko-chemiczne i aktywność biologiczną gleb. Związki te mogą się również akumulować w roślinach lub wraz z pyłem osiadać na ich zielonych częściach. Większość z nich to substancje karcenogenne, dlatego ich usuwanie ze środowiska wymaga zastosowania efektywnych, tanich i bezpiecznych metod. W warunkach laboratoryjnych oceniono przydatność łącznego wykorzystania techniki stymulacji nadtlenkiem wodoru i bioaugmentacji szczepionką drożdżową Yarrowia lipolytica A101 do oczyszczania gleby z substancji ropopochodnych oraz wpływ na dynamikę zmian mikrobioty gleby. Wyk…
Etude des mécanismes physiologiques et moléculaires permettant la prise en charge des substrats hydrophobes par la levure Yarrowia lipolytica au nive…

Yarrowia lipolytica can grow on many hydrophobic substrates and metabolize them via the β-oxidation pathway or store them into lipid bodies. The first contact between the cell and the hydrophobic substrates is by the cell wall. In this step, cell-wall proteins (CWP), β-glucane and chitin of the cell wall could play an important role for the adhesion and uptake of hydrophobic substrates. The aim of this work was to study the effect of a hydrophobic carbon source (compared with glucose) and the culture medium composition on the cell wall composition and the melanin production by Y. lipolytica. The results of our biochemical and molecular analysis showed that the presence of methyl oleate and …
Predicted secondary structure of hydroperoxide lyase from green bell pepper cloned in the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica
2010
International audience; Fatty acid hydroperoxide lyase (HPL) is a member of the cytochrome P450 family acting on fatty acid hydroperoxides in many organisms. The active green bell pepper HPL, cloned and expressed in the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica, was purified by immobilized metal-ion affinity chromatography (IMAC) in the presence of 2% of Triton X-100R. The secondary structure prediction by bioinformatics servers of HPL was realized by ANTHEPROT software, using the GOR, DPM and Predator methods. The theoretical results which are average values obtained from three different calculation methods showed 33% α-helix, 18% β-sheet, 7% turn and 42% coil. On the other hand, the secondary structure a…
