Identification of medically important yeasts by sequence analysis of the internal transcribed spacer and D1/D2 region of the large ribosomal subunit

BackgroundThe prevalence of opportunistic yeast infections has increased in recent decades as the result of an increasing immunocompromised patient population.AimsTo evaluate ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene sequence to identify medically important yeast species, to investigate the performance of both the rRNA gene internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and D1/D2 region in identifying clinically relevant yeasts, and to compare these results with those of a standard phenotypic method.MethodsBoth regions from 50 yeast strains, comprising 45 clinical isolates and 5 reference strains, were amplified using PCR and then sequenced. The sequences were compared to reference data available from the GenBank database of the National Center for Biotechnology Information using the BLASTn tool.ResultsUsing ID32C, 88% (44/50) of all strains were identified accurately at the species level, although 6% were misidentified; two Candida eremophila isolates were identified as Candida glabrata and Candida tropicalis, and one Saprochaete clavata isolate was identified as Saprochaete capitata. Two of the four isolates identified by phenotypic methods as Trichosporon asahii were defined so by analyzing the ITS region, but the remaining two were not distinguishable from closely related species. Based on the D1/D2 region, these four isolates had 100% sequence identity with T. asahii, Trichosporon japonicum, and Trichosporon asteroides. The isolate identified as Trichosporon inkin using ID32C could not be distinguished from Trichosporon ovoides by analyzing the ITS and D1/D2 regions.ConclusionsIdentifying medically important yeasts by sequencing the ITS and D1/D2 region is a rapid and reliable alternative to conventional identification methods. For a diagnostic algorithm, we suggest a two-step procedure integrating conventional methods (e.g. microscopic morphology on corn meal agar with Tween® 80 and API ID32C®) and sequence analysis of the ITS and D1/D2 region.     

Yeast diversity in rice-cassava fermentations produced by the indigenous Tapirapé people of Brazil

The Tapirapé people of the Tapi'it?wa tribe of Brazil produce several fermented foods and beverages, one of which is called 'cauim'. This beverage usually makes up the main staple food for adults and children. Several substrates are used in its production, including cassava, rice, corn, maize and peanuts. A fermentation using rice and cassava was conducted, and samples were collected at 4-h intervals for microbial analysis. The yeast population was low at the beginning of the fermentation and reached 6.9 x 10(7) CFU mL(-1) after 48 h. During the fermentation process common yeast species were identified by sequencing of the D1/D2 domain of the large-subunit (26S) rRNA gene. The predominant yeast species found was Candida tropicalis. Candida intermedia, Candida parapsilosis, Pichia guilliermondii, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Trichosporon asahii were also found in high numbers during the fermentation. Exophiala dermatidis, often associated with blastomycosis, was found in the mass before inoculation and during the initial stages of the fermentation. Examination of these indigenous fermented foods may provide clues as to how food production and preservation can be expanded and thereby contribute to improve nutrition in native tribes in the region.     

Glycosphingolipids as a possible signature of microbial communities in activated sludge and the potential contribution of fungi to wastewater treatment under cold conditions

Seven strains of fungi were isolated from activated sludge and identified as Mucor sp., Geotrichum sp., Trichosporon sp., Candida sp., and Trichoderma sp. by 28S rDNA D2 region sequences analysis. The structures of the main ceramide monosaccharides (CMSs) from these fungi were identified as glucosylceramide (GlcCer) consisting of ceramide moieties of 9-methyl-octadeca-sphingadienine (9-Me d18:2), with 2-hydroxyhexadecanoate (h16:0) (Mucor sp. and Geotrichum sp.), 2-hydroxyoctadecanoate (h18:0) (Trichosporon sp. and Candida sp.), and 2-hydroxyoctadecenoate (h18:1) (Trichoderma sp.). Seasonal changes in glycosphingolipids in activated sludge suggest the possibility that microbial flora in activated sludge changes with the seasons, and that fungi adaptable to low temperatures dominate in the cold period, resulting in the maintenance of stable effluent quality. Mucor sp., Geotrichum sp., and Candida sp. satisfactorily reduced the BOD of synthetic sewage at 10 degrees C. These results indicate that fungi in activated sludge can contribute to wastewater treatment in cold conditions.     

Occurrence and diversity of yeasts involved in fermentation of West African cocoa beans

Samples of cocoa beans were taken on two separate occasions during heap and tray fermentations in Ghana, West Africa. In total 496 yeast isolates were identified by conventional microbiological analyses and by amplification of their ITS1-5.8S rDNA-ITS2 regions. For important species the identifications were confirmed by sequencing of the D1/D2 domain of the 5' end of the large subunit (26S) rDNA. Assimilations of organic acids and other carbon compounds were conducted. For dominant yeasts intraspecies variations were examined by determination of chromosome length polymorphism (CLP) using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. For the heap fermentations maximum yeast cell counts of 9.1 x 10(7) were reached, whereas maximum yeast counts of 6.0 x 10(6) were reached for the tray fermentations. Candida krusei was found to be the dominant species during heap fermentation, followed by P. membranifaciens, P. kluyveri, Hanseniaspora guilliermondii and Trichosporon asahii, whereas Saccharomyces cerevisiae and P. membranifaciens were found to be the dominant species during tray fermentation followed by low numbers of C. krusei, P. kluyveri, H. guilliermondii and some yeast species of minor importance. For isolates within all dominant species CLP was evident, indicating that several different strains are involved in the fermentations. Isolates of C. krusei, P. membranifaciens, H. guilliermondii, T. asahii and Rhodotorula glutinis could be found on the surface of the cocoa pods and in some cases on the production equipment, whereas the origin of e.g. S. cerevisiae was not indicated by the results obtained. In conclusion, the results obtained show that fermentation of cocoa beans is a very inhomogeneous process with great variations in both yeast counts and species composition. The variations seem to depend especially on the processing procedure, but also the season and the post-harvest storage are likely to influence the yeast counts and the species composition.

Isolation of fungi from bats of the Amazon basin

A total of 2,886 bats captured in the Amazon Basin of Brazil were processed for the isolation of fungi. From the livers, spleens, and lungs of 155 bats (5.4%), 186 fungal isolates of the genera Candida (123 isolates), Trichosporon (26 isolates), Torulopsis (25 isolates), Kluyveromyces (11 isolates), and Geotrichum (1 isolate) were recovered. Seven known pathogenic species were present: Candida parapsilosis, C. guilliermondii, C. albicans, C. stellatoidea, C. pseudotropicalis, Trichosporon beigelii, and Torulopsis glabrata. Twenty-three culture-positive bats showed identical fungal colonization in multiple organs or mixed colonization in a single organ. The fungal isolation rates for individual bat species varied from 1 fungus per 87 bats to 3 fungi per 13 bats, and the mycoflora diversity for members of an individual fungus-bearing bat species varied from 16 fungi per 40 bats to 7 fungi per 6 bats. Of the 38 fungal species isolated, 36 had not been previously described as in vivo bat isolates. Of the 27 culture-positive bat species, 21 had not been previously described as mammalian hosts for medically or nonmedically important fungi.
