Kluyveromyces spp. have been found to be more efficient than a CUP1(R) strain of S. cerevisiae in heavy metal resistance and accumulation. The present study describes the subcellular distribution of the accumulated metals (Ae, Cd, Cu) in S. cerevisiae and K. marxianus. Absorption by insoluble cellular material of the metals appears as the main mechanism of metal accumulation in both organisms.

Production of neutral and alkaline extracellular proteases by the thermophilic fungus, Scytalidium thermophilum, grown on microcrystalline cellulose Ifrij, IH; Ögel, Zümrüt Begüm (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2002-07-01) Extracellular proteases produced by Scytalidium thermophilum, grown on microcrystalline cellulose, were most active at pH 6.5-8 and 37-45 degreesC when incubated for 60 min. Highest protease activity was at day 3 where endoglucanase activity was low. Protease activity measurements with and without the protease inhibitors, p-chloromercuribenzoate, PMSF, antipain, E-64, EDTA and pepstatin A, suggest production of thiol-containing serine protease and serine proteases. Endoglucanase and Avicel-adsorbable endogl...
Killer toxin of Pichia anomala NCYC 432; purification, characterization and its exo-beta-1,3-glucanase activity Izgu, Fatih; Altinbay, Demet; Acun, Tolga (Elsevier BV, 2006-08-02) Pichia anomala NCYC 432 secretes a killer toxin which is inhibitory to a variety of yeasts including pathogenic Candida spp. The killer toxin in the culture supernatant was concentrated by ultratiltration and purified to homogenity by two successive gel filtration chromatographies with a TSK G2000SW column. Biochemical characterization of the toxin showed that it is a glycosylated protein with a molecular mass of 47 kDa and pI values of 3.4 and 3.7. The toxin showed high stability at pH values between 3 and...
Functional analysis of a mirna putatively involved in powdery mildew disease susceptibility in barley Dağdaş, Gülay; Akkaya, Mahinur S.; Department of Biotechnology (2009) Barley is one of the most important crop species in Turkey and powdery mildew is one of the most common pathogen decreasing yield in barley. For this problem, agricultural biologists apply breeding technologies in order to select and propagate resistant barley cultivars. However, this is not a permanent solution since pathogens evolve rapidly to overcome plant resistance mechanisms. On the other hand, molecular plant pathologists are trying to understand basic mechanisms underlying plant-pathogen interactio...
Enzymic activity of the K5-type yeast killer toxin and its characterization Izgu, F; Altinbay, D; Sertkaya, A (Informa UK Limited, 2005-11-01) K5-type yeast killer toxin secreted by P. anomala NCYC 434 cells has a broad killing spectrum. Competitive inhibiton of killer activity showed that glucans, mainly the beta-1,3 glucan, represent the primary toxin binding site within the cell wall of sensitive cells. Its hydrolytic activity on laminarin in an exo-like fashion revealed that the toxin exerts its killing effect by exo-beta-1,3-glucanase activity. Its specific activity on laminarin was 120U/mg, and the Michaelis constants K-m, and V-max for lami...
Growth of agriculturally important Pseudomonas spp. and Azotobacter Chroococcum on beer waste and observation of their survival in peat Abat, Benek; Hamamcı, Haluk; Department of Food Engineering (2006) In this study agriculturally important Pseudomonas spp. which may solubilize phosphate and Azotobacter chroococcum which can fix atmospheric nitrogen were grown on waste beer with 4 different concentrations and conditions for best growth were determined. Having potential of use as biofertilizers, they were put in the carrier material peat and survivals of them were observed for 3 months at three different temperatures. Biofertilizer can be defined as a substance which contains living microorganisms which, w...
