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.

Production of pigments by Rhodotorula mucilaginosa [PDF]

Malaysian Journal of Microbiology, 2018
Rhodotorula yeast belongs to the family of Cryptococcaceae, a subfamily of Rhodotorulodeae. Rhodotorula produces major carotenoid pigments like carotene, torularhodin, and torulene. Carotenoids are important natural pigments. The concentration and type of carotenoids production by genus Rhodotorula is influenced by the species of microorganism, the ...

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.

Inulinase from Rhodotorula mucilaginosa: immobilization and application in the production of fructooligosaccharides [PDF]

Food Science and Biotechnology, 2021
The crude extract containing inulinase from Rhodotorula mucilaginosa was obtained by submerged fermentation. Inulinase was immobilized on chicken eggshell by physical adsorption and covalent crosslinking, using glutaraldehyde as a crosslinking reagent, and Celite by adsorption. Fructooligosaccharides production was performed using immobilized inulinase

Whole genome sequencing of Rhodotorula mucilaginosa isolated from the chewing stick (Distemonanthus benthamianus): insights into Rhodotorula phylogeny, mitogenome dynamics and carotenoid biosynthesis [PDF]

PeerJ, 2017
In industry, the yeast Rhodotorula mucilaginosa is commonly used for the production of carotenoids. The production of carotenoids is important because they are used as natural colorants in food and some carotenoids are precursors of retinol (vitamin A ...

Rhodotorula mucilaginosa lymphadenitis in an HIV-infected patient [PDF]

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2009
We report a case of lymphadenitis due to Rhodotorula mucilaginosa in a man with well-controlled HIV infection. The diagnosis was established microbiologically by positive lymph tissue cultures, and clinically by responses of lymphadenitis to antifungal therapy. The patient was asymptomatic and was treated with itraconazole 200mg orally once daily as an

Cell Envelope Integrity and Capsule Characterization of Rhodotorula mucilaginosa Strains from Clinical and Environmental Sources

mSphere, 2019
Rhodotorula yeasts are pink, encapsulated basidiomycetes isolated from a variety of environments and clinical settings. They are increasingly linked with disease, particularly central venous catheter infections and meningitis, in immunocompromised ...

Farnesol modulation of Rhodotorula mucilaginosa in biofilm and planktonic forms

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2022
Biofilms are important to the virulence of human pathogenic fungi, and some molecules have been found to play key roles in the growth and regulation of fungal biofilms. Farnesol, one of these molecules, is well-described for some microorganisms but is still scarcely known for Rhodotorula spp.

Identification and phylogeny of some species of the genera Sporidiobolus and Rhodotorula using analysis of the 5.8s rDNA gene and two ribosomal internal transcribed spacers [PDF]

Archives of Biological Sciences, 2011
Due to the problems encountered in routine morphological and physiological procedures that are used in yeast identification, DNA-based methods have recently been developed.
