rhodotorula การใช้
- "Rhodotorula " can also cause infections in animals.
- "Rhodotorula " is a common environmental inhabitant.
- Through sediment analysis and testing of contaminated waters " Rhodotorula " were found to be common in contaminated sites.
- One area in which " Rhodotorula " species may become of importance is in bioremediation, especially of contaminated water sites.
- It was noted in samples taken from contaminated waters that " Rhodotorula " species had the ability to degrade petroleum compounds.
- These studies as well as others suggest that " Rhodotorula " species may be good candidates for bioremediation of polluted waters for PAHs.
- In more directed studies a number of species of " Rhodotorula " were found to be able to degrade a number of specific contaminants.
- The type species, " Saitoella complicata ", originally isolated from Himalayan soil, had its taxonomy of the genus " Rhodotorula ".
- Yeast genera observed for Jiuqu in decreasing order of significance include " Saccharomycopsis, Issatchenkia, Saccharomyces, Pichia, Candida " and " Rhodotorula ".
- Research into the pigmentation of rainbow trout flesh using " Rhodotorula " in prepared diets was investigated in partnership with the Newfoundland and Labrador Institute of Fisheries and Marine Technology Aquaculture Unit.
- In such conditions, the nitrogen content of the dry weight of " Rhodotorula " can drop as low as 1 %, compared to around 14 % for most bacteria growing in normal conditions.
- Yeasts of the " Rhodotorula mucilaginosa " . " Candida glabrata " is the second most common " Candida " pathogen after " C . albicans ", causing infections of the urogenital tract, and of the bloodstream ( candidemia ).
- In a mixed fungal community " Rhodotorula " species contributed to effective degradation of low molecular weight PAHs, and although bacterial communities alone were not able to, the fungal communities also degraded high molecular weight PAHs ( more than 3 benzene rings ) such as chrysene and benzo ( a ) pyrene.
- R . " glutinis " is closely related to " Rhodotorula mucilaginosa ", differing only in their ability to use nitrate as a nitrogen source ( " R . glutinis " cannot assimilate nitrate ) Both species are incapable of fermentation and assimilation of myo-inositol and D-glucoronate.
- Herrera participated in the isolation and identification of pulque fungi, commonly called pulqueros, such as : " Saccharomyces cerevisiae ", " Pichia membranaefaciens ", " Candida boidini ", " C . incospicua ", and numerous species of the genera Kloeckera, Rhodotorula and Torulopsis.
- Microbial activity has been measured in soils frozen below " 39 癈 . Some wingless insects ( chironomid of the genus " Diamesa " ) are still active down to " 16 癈 . The psychrotrophic pink yeast " Rhodotorula glutinis " causes food spoilage at temperatures as low as " 18 癈 . Lichens have been recorded photosynthesizing at temperatures ranging down to " 24 癈, and they can grow down to around " 10 癈 . Higher plants and invertebrates can survive down to around " 70 癈 but need temperatures of around " 2 癈 or higher to complete their life cycle.
