Phytase from antarctic yeast strain Cryptococcus laurentii AL27
Folia Microbiologica, 2008Cryptococcus laurentii strain AL27 demonstrating significant potential for intracellular phytase production was selected by 2-step screening of Antarctic yeasts. The strain showed increased phytase activity in a culture medium with 40 g/L sucrose, KH2PO4 providing 5 mg/L phosphorus, and cultivation temperature of 24 degrees C, which relates it to ...

AN EXTRACELLULAR GALACTOGLUCOXYLOMANNAN PROTEIN FROM THE YEAST Cryptococcus laurentii VAR. laurentii
Journal of Carbohydrate Chemistry, 2002An extracellular galactoglucoxylomannan protein composed of d-galactose, d-glucose, d-xylose and d-mannose in a 2.9:1.0:1.1:10.2 mole proportion has been isolated from culture medium of Cryptococcus laurentii var. laurentii. The polymer of number average molecular mass 19,000 contained 86% carbohydrates, 6.5% protein and 0.7% phosphorus.

Phylogenetic study of Cryptococcus laurentii mycocinogenic strains
Mycological Progress, 2012Previous studies reported Cryptococcus laurentii strains to secrete mycocins of different inhibition range. These mycocinogenic strains were studied by molecular methods to verify their phylogenetic relationships. Based on the combined analysis of LSU and ITS sequence data, these strains were confirmed to belong to the species C. laurentii.

Cryptococcus laurentii lung abscess.
The American review of respiratory disease, 1981Pulmonary infection with Cryptococcus laurentii occurred in a patient with dermatomyositis receiving corticosteroid therapy. Infections with cryptococci other than C. neoformans are rare, and pulmonary involvement with C. laurentii has not been reported previously.

The occurrence of plectaniaxanthin in Cryptococcus laurentii
Phytochemistry, 1971Abstract Plectaniaxanthin, recently isolated from the mushroom Plectania coccinea (Scop. ex Fr.) Fuck., has now been isolated from the asporogenous yeast Cryptococcus laurentii (Kuff.) Skinner var. flavescens (Saito) Lodder et Kreger-van Rij. The identity of the compound was established by visible, NMR and high resolution mass spectra and by ...

Cryptococcus laurentii Biofilms: Structure, Development and Antifungal Drug Resistance
Mycopathologia, 2012A great number of fungal infections are related to biofilm formation on inert or biological surfaces, which are recalcitrant to most treatments and cause human mortality. Cryptococcus laurentii has been diagnosed as the aetiological pathogen able to cause human infections mainly in immunosuppressed patients and the spectrum of clinical manifestations ...

Biochemical Investigation on the Capsule-Amylose Relationship in Cryptococcus Laurentii
Mycologia, 1973The capsulated yeast Cryptococcus laurentii produces extracellular heteropolysaccharide and, under certain conditions, if excretes amylose into the medium. Studies were conducted to investigate the possible relationship between the synthesis of the two polysaccharides.

Cryptococcus laurentii Extracellular Biopolymer Production for Application in Wound Management
Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology, 2014Cryptococcus laurentii growth and extracellular polysaccharide (EPS) production in bioreactor were studied. Biomass yield 14.3 g/L and EPS synthesis 4.3 g/L in 144 h of submerged cultivation were achieved. EPS synthesis and cell growth had different optima. For EPS formation, pH 3, 25 °C and low aeration (1 %

Characterization of an Extracellular Polyester Depolymerase of Cryptococcus Laurentii
1987An understanding of the mechanisms by which synthetic polymers are degraded by biological systems would be of value in the design of both degradable and nondegradable polymers. Although much research has been carried out on the design of polymers for both characteristics, there has been relatively little work reported on the mechanism of degradation. A
