Screening and identification of yeast strains from fruits and vegetables: Potential for biological control of postharvest chilli anthracnose (Colletotrichum capsici)

Yeasts antagonistic to Colletotrichum capsici were isolated from Thai fruits and vegetables. Four antagonists (R13, R6, ER1, and L2) were found that inhibited C. capsici growth with biocontrol efficacies of 93.3%, 83.1%, 76.6%, and 66.4%, respectively. Identification by 26S rDNA, and ITS region sequence together with physiological and morphological characteristics, showed them to be Pichia guilliermondii, Candida musae, Issatchenkia orientalis, and Candida quercitrusa, in order of their efficacy. P. guilliermondii strain R13 showed efficacy in reducing disease incidence on C. capsici infected chilli fruits to as low as 6.5%. Lower disease incidence was observed at lower storage temperature. The application of P. guilliermondii is more effective for preserving chilli fruits than conventional preservation with chlorinated water.     

Extracellular production of a glycolipid biosurfactant, mannosylerythritol lipid, from Candida antarctica

Candida antarctica (sp. SY16) required avegetable oil as the carbon source to produce a biosurfactant, mannosylerythritol lipid (MEL-SY16). Biosurfactant production was 31 g l^–1 after 7 days in a batch culture and was not growth associated. In a two-stage culture, glycerol and oleic acid were used as an initial and a feeding carbon source, respectively, and 41 g l^–1 biosurfactant was produced after 8 days.     

Phytase production by the yeast, Pichia anomala

Pichia anomala, isolated from dried flower buds of Woodfordia fruticosa, produced a high activity of an intracellular phytase, at 68 U per g dry biomass, when grown at 20 °C for 24 h in a medium containing glucose (40 g l^–1) and beef extract (10 g l^–1) supplemented with Fe²⁺ (0.15 mM). Partially purified phytase was optimally active at 60 °C and pH 4 with a half life of 7 days at 60 °C. It retained 85% of its activity at 80 °C for 15 min. The enzyme is suitable for supplementing animal feeds to improve the availability of phosphate from phytate.

A practical approach to biosurfactant production using nonaseptic fermentation of mixed cultures

Non-aseptic production of biosurfactant from molasses by a mixed culture was investigated in stirred batch reactors. Biosurfactant production was quantified by surface tension reduction, critical micelle dilution (CMD), and emulsification capacity (EC). Biosurfactant production was directly correlated with biomass production, and was improved by pH control and addition of yeast extract. Centrifugation of the whole broth increased emulsifying capacity and reduced surface tension. Acidification of the whole broth increased the emulsification capacity but reduced the apparent biosurfactant concentration (CMD), without affecting the surface tension. The emulsification capacity of the cell-free broth was equivalent to that of a 100 mg/L solution of sodium dodecyl sulfate. The emulsification capacity of the whole broth and cell-free broth were reduced by about 50% at and above NaCl concentrations of 100mM. Preliminary characterization suggests that the biosurfactant activity is primarily associated with one or more protease-sensitive species, released from cells in larger quantities after more vigorous centrifugation.     

On the control of HAB species using low biosurfactant concentrations

Biosurfactants have been suggested as a method to control harmful algal blooms (HABs), but warrant further and more in-depth investigation. Here we have investigated the algicidal effect of a biosurfactant produced by the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa on five diverse marine and freshwater HAB species that have not been tested previously. These include Alexandrium minutum (Dinophycaee), Karenia brevis (Dinophyceae), Pseudonitzschia sp. (Bacillariophyceae), in marine ecosystems, and Gonyostomum semen (Raphidophyceae) and Microcystis aeruginosa (Cyanophyecae) in freshwater. We examined not only lethal but also sub-lethal effects of the biosurfactant. In addition, the effect of the biosurfactant on Daphnia was tested. Our conclusions were that very low biosurfactant concentrations (5 μg mL⁻¹) decreased both the photosynthesis efficiency and the cell viability and that higher concentrations (50 μg mL⁻¹) had lethal effects in four of the five HAB species tested. The low concentrations employed in this study and the diversity of HAB genera tested suggest that biosurfactants may be used to either control initial algal blooms without causing negative side effect to the ecosystem, or to provoke lethal effects when necessary.     

Characterization of a novel lipopolysaccharide biosurfactant fromKlebsiella oxitoca

The chemical, physical, and emulsifying properties of BSF-1, which is an extracellular lipopolysaccharide biosurfactant produced byKlebsiella oxytoca strain BSF-1, were studied. BSF-1 was found to be composed mainly of carbohydrate and fatty acids. The average molecular weight was 1,700–2,000 kDa. The polysaccharide fraction containedl-rhamnose,d-galactose,d-glucose, andd-glucuronic acid at a molar ratio of 3∶1∶1∶1. The fatty acid content was 1.1% (w/w) and consisted mainly of palmitic acid (C16∶0), 3-hydroxylauric acid (3-OH-C12∶0), and lauric acid (C12∶0). In terms of thermal properties, BSF-1 was revealed to have inter- and intra-molecular hydrogen bonds. The hydrodynamic volume (intrinsic viscosity) of BSF-1 was 22.8 dL/g. BSF-1 could be maintained as a stable emulsion for 48 h through a low-level reduction in surface tension. The optimal emulsification temperature was 30°C. Emulsification by BSF-1 was efficient at both acidic and neutral pH values.     

Chromosomal differentiation of the sibling species <Emphasis Type="Italic">Pichia membranifaciens</Emphasis> and <Emphasis Type="Italic">Pichia manshurica</Emphasis>

Heterogeneity of the species P. membranifaciens at the variety level is discussed.     

Screening marine algae from China for their antitumor activities

Three, Rhodomela confervoides, Scytosiphon lomentarius and Gloiopeliis furcata, were used for further investigation. More than 30 compounds were isolated and purified, and 14 bromophenols, 1 steroid and 1 carotene were identified by advanced spectroscopic methods including IR, MS, and NMR techniques. Amongst the 16 identified compounds, 7 showed vigorously selective activities against KB, Bel7402 and A549 cancer cells, and 6 bromophenols were new compounds.
