Femoral Prosthesis Infection byRhodotorula mucilaginosa [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2008
ABSTRACTThis case report is a case history of a femoral prosthesis infection caused byRhodotorula mucilaginosain a human immunodeficiency virus patient. Though the pathogenicity of this organism for bone tissue has been previously reported, this is the first reported case of an orthopedic prosthesis infection by this species of the genusRhodotorula.

Asymmetric Ketone Reduction by Immobilized Rhodotorula mucilaginosa [PDF]

Catalysts, 2018
In our previous study, Rhodotorula mucilaginosa (R. mucilaginosa) was selected via high throughput screening as a very active and selective whole-cell biocatalyst for the asymmetric reduction of ketones. In this study, the reduction of ketones to the desired chiral alcohols by immobilized cells of this strain was investigated.

Polyethylene degradation and assimilation by the marine yeast Rhodotorula mucilaginosa. [PDF]

ISME Commun, 2023
Abstract Ocean plastic pollution is a severe environmental problem but most of the plastic that has been released to the ocean since the 1950s is unaccounted for. Although fungal degradation of marine plastics has been suggested as a potential sink mechanism, unambiguous proof of plastic degradation by marine fungi, or other microbes, is

Different toenail onychomycosis due to Rhodotorula mucilaginosa and Candida parapsilosis in an immunocompetent young adult

Medical Mycology Case Reports, 2019
Candida parapsilosis (C. parapsilosis) and Rhodotorula mucilaginosa (R. mucilaginosa) have emerged as a potential pathogen in immunosuppressed hosts; they rarely induce onychomycosis in immunocompetent hosts without assistance from other pathogens.
