Evidence for maintenance of sex determinants but not of sexual stages in red yeasts, a group of early diverged basidiomycetes [PDF]
Background The red yeasts are an early diverged group of basidiomycetes comprising sexual and asexual species. Sexuality is based on two compatible mating types and sexual identity is determined by MAT loci that encode homeodomain transcription factors ...

NUCLEAR BEHAVIOR OF RHODOSPORIDIUM TORULOIDES, A HETEROBASIDIOMYCETOUS YEAST
Nuclear behavior in the cells of Rhodosporidium toruloides, a heterobasidiomycetous yeast, was followed by microscopic observation. The behavior in the process of both asexual and sexual reproduction of the microorganism was found to agree, in principle, with the description on that of Leucosporidium sp., a heterobasidiomycetous yeast.

Engineering Strategies for Fungal Cell Disruption in Biotechnological Applications
ABSTRACT Fungal cell disruption plays a critical role in unlocking a wide range of high‐value intracellular products such as lipids, proteins, pigments, and bioactive compounds. However, lysing fungal cells is far more challenging than breaking bacterial or algal cells due to their robust and highly structured cell walls.

ABSTRACT Yeasts belonging to the genus Rhodotorula are capable of synthesizing carotenoids, such as β‐carotene, γ‐carotene, torulene, torularodine, and astaxanthin. These carotenoids have been shown to offer health benefits to humans, such as immune system strengthening and a reduced risk of chronic degenerative diseases.

Bioprocess development for biolubricant production using microbial oil derived via fermentation from confectionery industry waste [PDF]
Microbial oil produced from confectionery and wheat milling side streams has been evaluated as novel feedstock for biolubricant production. Nutrient-rich fermentation media were produced by a two-step bioprocess involving crude enzyme production by ...

Rhodosporidium toruloides and Tetradesmus obliquus populations dynamics in symbiotic cultures, developed in brewery wastewater, for lipid production [PDF]
In this work, primary brewery wastewater (PBWW) and secondary brewery wastewater (SBWW) separately, or mixed at the ratios of 1:1 (PBWW:SBWW) and 1:7 (PBWW:SBWW), with or without supplementation with sugarcane molasses (SCM), were used as culture media ...
