Abundance of thraustochytrid fungi in the Arabian Sea

Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science, 1990
Numbers of thraustochytrid marine fungi were estimated in the waters of the Arabian Sea during four cruises in 1987–1988 and at the mouth of the Zuari estuary in Goa during two series of samplings in 1987. Thraustochytrids varied from 11001−1 of seawater.

A Mesohaline Thraustochytrid Produces Extremely Halophilic Alpha-Amylases

Marine Biotechnology, 2020
Halophilic bacteria are well known to produce highly salt-tolerant enzymes that have unusual applications in biotechnology. Production of halophilic proteins is generally not expected in mesohaline microorganisms. Ulkenia sp. AH-2, a mesohaline, marine straminipilan thraustochytrid isolated from waters of a mangrove ecosystem, produces halophilic alpha-

Osmotic adjustment and requirement for sodium in marine protist thraustochytrid

Environmental Microbiology, 2009
Summary A non‐invasive ion‐selective microelectrode technique was used to elucidate the ionic mechanisms of osmotic adjustment in a marine protist thraustochytrid. Hypoosmotic stress caused significant efflux of Na + , Cl – and K

Physiological Studies of Subtropical Mangrove Thraustochytrids

Botanica Marina, 2002
Six thraustochytrids (Schizochytrium sp. KF-1, Schizochytrium mangrovei KF-2, KF-7, KF-12, Thraustochytrium striatum KF-9 and Ulkenia KF-13), isolated from fallen, senescent leaves of the mangrove tree Kandelia candel in Hong Kong, were identified and characterised in pine pollen seawater culture.

Development of a bioprocess for squalene production in thraustochytrids

Lebensmittelchemie
Squalene is a natural triterpene that has many applications in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic and food industry. The current production of this natural substance is problematic, as deep sea sharks are hunted for its extraction from shark liver oil. Extraction from certain lipid-rich plants is possible, but requires large amounts of land, is seasonal and ...

The Distribution of Extracellular Cellulase Activity in Marine Eukaryotes, Thraustochytrids

Marine Biotechnology, 2010
Cellulolytic ability was evaluated in 19 strains of thraustochytrids, representing nine genera, using carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) as a substrate. Extracellular cellulolytic enzyme activity was determined in the culture supernatants during cell growth. CMC hydrolysis was observed in 14 out of the 19 strains examined.

A Simple, Reliable, and Fast Protocol for Thraustochytrid DNA Extraction

Marine Biotechnology, 2001
DNA extraction of thraustochytrids, common marine unicellular organisms, is usually accomplished by either the cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) or proteinase K protocols. A novel lysis buffer protocol for thraustochytrid total DNA extraction is described.

Thraustochytrids and other zoosporic marine fungi

1992
Abstract Fungi with flagellated stages are common in marine habitats and comprise an important component of the heterotrophic population. The flagellated form represents the reproductive and dispersive, non-feeding stage of the normally sedentary vegetative body.
