Fungal DNA‐barcoding on a chip: Magnetoresistive biosensors for yeast infection diagnosis
The development of a fungal pathogen identification chip is herein demonstrated. Hybridization dynamics were tested against 58 species in silico and 4 species on chip. 95% accuracy, 91% sensitivity, 98% specificity and femtomolar limit of detection were achieved. Future perspectives include the integration of sample pre‐treatment modules.

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 ...

Genomewide and Enzymatic Analysis Reveals Efficient d-Galacturonic Acid Metabolism in the Basidiomycete Yeast Rhodosporidium toruloides. [PDF]
Biorefining of renewable feedstocks is one of the most promising routes to replace fossil-based products. Since many common fermentation hosts, such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae, are naturally unable to convert many component plant cell wall ...

Fungal contaminants in drinking water regulation? A tale of ecology, exposure, purification and clinical relevance [PDF]
Microbiological drinking water safety is traditionally monitored mainly by bacterial parameters that indicate faecal contamination. These parameters correlate with gastro-intestinal illness, despite the fact that viral agents, resulting from faecal ...

A voltammetric Rhodotorula mucilaginosa modified microbial biosensor for Cu(II) determination
It is the first report about the usage of Rhodotorula mucilaginosa as a biomaterial to construct a microbial biosensor based on carbon paste for determination of copper. Cu(II) was preconcentrated electrode surface at open circuit and then detected with electrochemical techniques, including Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) and Differential Pulse Stripping ...
