Isolation and characterisation of Sri Lankan yeast germplasm and its evaluation for alcohol production [PDF]
, 2006 Use of inferior yeast cultures represents one of the reasons for low fermentation efficiencies in Sri Lankan alcohol distilleries that use sugarcane molasses. The present study isolated and characterised yeast strains found in natural environments in Sri

The Significance of Lipids to Biofilm Formation in Candida albicans: An Emerging Perspective
Journal of Fungi, 2018 Candida albicans, the dimorphic opportunistic human fungal pathogen, is capable of forming highly drug-resistant biofilms in the human host. Formation of biofilm is a multistep and multiregulatory process involving various adaptive mechanisms.

Identification of a small RhoA GTPase inhibitor effective in fission yeast and human cells
Open Biology, 2023 The Rho GTPase family proteins are key regulators of cytoskeletal dynamics. Deregulated activity of Rho GTPases is associated with cancers and neurodegenerative diseases, and their potential as drug targets has long been recognized. Using an economically

Biofilm-forming capability of highly virulent, multidrug-resistant Candida auris [PDF]
, 2017 The emerging multidrug-resistant yeast pathogen Candida auris has attracted considerable attention as a source of healthcare–associated infections. We report that this highly virulent yeast has the capacity to form antifungal resistant biofilms sensitive
