Debaryomyces hansenii is a salt-tolerant yeast that contains high amounts of internal Na(+). Debaryomyces hansenii kept more sodium than Saccharomyces cerevisiae in both the cytoplasm and vacuole when grown under a variety of NaCl concentrations. These results indicate a higher tolerance of Debaryomyces to high internal Na(+), and, in addition, suggest the existence of a transporter driving Na(+) into the vacuole. Moreover, a gene encoding a Na(+) (K(+))/H(+) antiporter from D. hansenii was cloned and sequenced. The gene, designated DhNHX1, exhibited significant homology with genes of the NHE/NHX family. DhNHX1 expression was induced neither at low pH nor by extracellular NaCl. A mutant of S. cerevisiae lacking its own Na(+) transporters (ena1-4Delta nha1 Delta nhx1 Delta), when transformed with DhNHX1, partially recovered cation tolerance as well as the ability to accumulate Na(+) and K(+) into the vacuole. Our analysis provides evidence that DhNhx1p transports Na(+) (and K(+)) into the vacuole and that it can play an important role in ion homeostasis and salt tolerance. 相似文献

Debaryomyces hansenii is a spoilage yeast able to grow in a variety of ecological niches, from seawater to dairy products. Results presented in this article show that (i) D. hansenii has an inherent resistance to H2O2 which could be attributed to the fact that this yeast has a basal catalase activity which is several-fold higher than that observed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae under the same culture conditions, (ii) D. hansenii has two genes (DhCTA1 and DhCTT1) encoding two catalase isozymes with a differential enzymatic activity profile which is not strictly correlated with a differential expression profile of the encoding genes. 相似文献

The yeast Debaryomyces hansenii has been chosen as a model for molecular studies of tolerance to NaCl. A gene library was built and transformants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae W303 containing genes from D. hansenii were selected for their ability to grow in the presence of high concentrations of NaCl and/or low concentrations of KCl. In three of these transformants 500 mM NaCl improved growth at pH 7.6 like in D. hansenii but not in S. cerevisiae. One of the plasmids restored growth at 50 microM KCl and K(+) uptake in a mutant of S. cerevisiae lacking genes that encode K(+) transporters. 相似文献

The effects of KCl, NaCl, and LiCl on the growth of Debaryomyces hansenii, usually considered a halotolerant yeast, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae were compared. KCl and NaCl had similar effects on D. hansenii, indicating that NaCl created only osmotic stress, while LiCl had a specific inhibitory effect, although relatively weaker than in S. cerevisiae. In media with low K+, Na+ was able to substitute for K+, restoring the specific growth rate and the final biomass of the culture. The intracellular concentration of Na+ reached values up to 800 mM, suggesting that metabolism is not affected by rather high concentrations of salt. The ability of D. hansenii to extrude Na+ and Li+ was similar to that described for S. cerevisiae, suggesting that this mechanism is not responsible for the increased halotolerance. Also, the kinetic parameters of Rb+ uptake in D. hansenii (Vmax, 4.2 nmol mg [dry weight]-1 min-1; K(m), 7.4 mM) indicate that the transport system was not more efficient than in S. cerevisiae. Sodium (50 mM) activated the transport of Rb+ by increasing the affinity for the substrate in D. hansenii, while the effect was opposite in S. cerevisiae. Lithium inhibited Rb+ uptake in D. hansenii. We propose that the metabolism of D. hansenii is less sensitive to intracellular Na+ than is that of S. cerevisiae, that Na+ substitutes for K+ when K+ is scarce, and that the transport of K+ is favored by the presence of Na+. In low K+ environments, D. hansenii behaved as a halophilic yeast. 相似文献

The yeast Debaryomyces hansenii is usually found in salty environments such as the sea and salted food. It is capable of accumulating sodium without being intoxicated even when potassium is present at low concentration in the environment. In addition, sodium improves growth and protects D. hansenii in the presence of additional stress factors such as high temperature and extreme pH. An array of advantageous factors, as compared with Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is putatively involved in the increased halotolerance of D. hansenii: glycerol, the main compatible solute, is kept inside the cell by an active glycerol-Na+ symporter; potassium uptake is not inhibited by sodium; sodium protein targets in D. hansenii seem to be more resistant. The whole genome of D. hansenii has been sequenced and is now available at http://cbi.labri.fr/Genolevures/ and, so far, no genes specifically responsible for the halotolerant behaviour of D. hansenii have been found. 相似文献

In this article, we investigated the effect of exogenous calcium on improving viability of Debaryomyces hansenii and Pichia membranaefaciens under heat stress, and evaluated the role of calcium in reducing oxidant damage of proteins in the yeast cells. The results indicated that high concentration of exogenous calcium in culture medium was beneficial for enhancing the tolerance of the biocontrol yeasts to heat stress. The possible mechanism of calcium improving the viability of yeasts was attributed to enhancement of antioxidant enzyme activities, decrease in ROS accumulation and reduction of oxidative damage of intracellular protein in yeast cells under heat stress. D. hansenii is more sensitive to calcium as compared to P. membranaefaciens. Our results suggest that application of exogenous calcium combined with biocontrol yeasts is a practical approach for the control of postharvest disease in fruit. 相似文献

The yeast Debaryomyces hansenii was investigated for its production of alcohol-based quorum sensing (QS) molecules including the aromatic alcohols phenylethanol, tyrosol, tryptophol and the aliphatic alcohol farnesol. Debaryomyces hansenii produced phenylethanol and tyrosol, which were primarily detected from the end of exponential phase indicating that they are potential QS molecules in D.?hansenii as previously shown for other yeast species. Yields of phenylethanol and tyrosol produced by D.?hansenii were, however, lower than those produced by Candida albicans and Saccharomyces cerevisiae and varied with growth conditions such as the availability of aromatic amino acids, ammonium sulphate, NaCl, pH and temperature. Tryptophol was only produced in the presence of tryptophane, whereas farnesol in general was not detectable. Especially, the type strain of D.?hansenii (CBS767) had good adhesion and sliding motility abilities, which seemed to be related to a higher hydrophobicity of the cell surface of D.?hansenii (CBS767) rather than the ability to form pseudomycelium. Addition of phenylethanol, tyrosol, tryptophol and farnesol was found to influence both adhesion and sliding motility of D.?hansenii. 相似文献

The marine yeast Debaryomyces hansenii is known to tolerate salinities ranging from 0 to 24%. As a first step toward the molecular analysis of halotolerance in this organism, we report the isolation of an autonomously replicating sequence (ARS) and its use in the construction of a shuttle vector. The ARS from D. hansenii (ARSD) is 0.4 kbp long, and the function rests in 0.13 kbp of the sequence. Sequence analysis of ARSD shows strong homology to ARS from other organisms, including a 12-bp consensus sequence common to all ARS functional in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. 相似文献

Yeast species belonging to the lineage that underwent the whole genome duplication (WGD), and including Saccharomyces cerevisiae, can grow under anaerobiosis and accumulate ethanol in the presence of glucose and oxygen. The pre-WGD yeasts, which branched from the S. cerevisiae lineage just before the WGD event, including Kluyveromyces lactis, are more dependent on oxygen and do not accumulate large amounts of ethanol in the presence of excess oxygen. Yeasts that belong to the so-called 'lower branches' of the yeast phylogenetic tree and diverged from S. cerevisiae more than 200 million years ago have so far not been thoroughly investigated for their physiology and carbon metabolism. Here, we have studied several isolates of Candida albicans and Debaryomyces hansenii for their dependence on oxygen. Candida albicans grew very poorly at an oxygen concentration <1 p.p.m. and D. hansenii could not grow at all. In aerobic batch cultivations, C. albicans exhibited a predominantly aerobic metabolism, accumulating only small amounts of ethanol (0.01-0.09 g g(-1) glucose). Apparently, C. albicans and several other pre-WGD yeasts still exhibit the original traits of the yeast progenitor: poor accumulation of ethanol under aerobic conditions and strong dependence on the presence of oxygen. 相似文献

Fourier-transform infrared microspectroscopy,a novel and rapid tool for identification of yeasts 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) microspectroscopy was used in this study to identify yeasts. Cells were grown to microcolonies of 70 to 250 micro m in diameter and transferred from the agar plate by replica stamping to an IR-transparent ZnSe carrier. IR spectra of the replicas on the carrier were recorded using an IR microscope coupled to an IR spectrometer, and identification was performed by comparison to reference spectra. The method was tested by using small model libraries comprising reference spectra of 45 strains from 9 genera and 13 species, recorded with both FT-IR microspectroscopy and FT-IR macrospectroscopy. The results show that identification by FT-IR microspectroscopy is equivalent to that achieved by FT-IR macrospectroscopy but the time-consuming isolation of the organisms prior to identification is not necessary. Therefore, this method also provides a rapid tool to analyze mixed populations. Furthermore, identification of 21 Debaryomyces hansenii and 9 Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains resulted in 92% correct identification at the strain level for S. cerevisiae and 91% for D. hansenii, which demonstrates that the resolution power of FT-IR microspectroscopy may also be used for yeast typing at the strain level. 相似文献

The effect of hydroxycinnamic acids and potassium sorbate on the growth of 11 strains of spoilage yeasts 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
D. Stead 《Journal of applied microbiology》1995,78(1):82-87
D. STEAD. 1995. Hydroxycinnamic acids and their derivatives occur widely in plants, fruits and wine. The effect of the common hydroxycinnamic acids (caffeic, coumaric and ferulic acids), at concentrations of 100 and 500 mg 1-1 , on growth of 11 strains of spoilage yeasts was measured spectrophotometrically and compared with that of potassium sorbate. Ferulic acid was the most generally inhibitory hydroxycinnamic acid. At 500 mg 1-1 it appreciably inhibited Pichia anomala, Debaryomyces hansenii and Saccharomyces cerevisiae and prevented detectable growth of one strain each of P. anomala and D. hansenii. Caffeic acid was the least inhibitory compound and coumaric acid had an intermediate effect. The more resistant strains of yeast were P. membranaefaciens, Saccharomycodes ludwigii and Zygosaccharomyces bailii. Sensitivity to hydroxycinnamic acid was, in general, associated with sensitivity to potassium sorbate; at a given concentration potassium sorbate was more inhibitory than were any of the hydroxycinnamic acids. 相似文献

Exogenous proline can protect cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae from oxidative stress. We altered intracellular proline levels by overexpressing the proline dehydrogenase gene (PUT1) of S. cerevisiae. Put1p performs the first enzymatic step of proline degradation in S. cerevisiae. Overexpression of Put1p results in low proline levels and hypersensitivity to oxidants, such as hydrogen peroxide and paraquat. A put1-disrupted yeast mutant deficient in Put1p activity has increased protection from oxidative stress and increased proline levels. Following a conditional life/death screen in yeast, we identified a tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) gene encoding a QM-like protein (tQM) and found that stable expression of tQM in the Put1p-overexpressing strain conferred protection against oxidative damage from H2O2, paraquat, and heat. This protection was correlated with reactive oxygen species (ROS) reduction and increased proline accumulation. A yeast two-hybrid system assay was used to show that tQM physically interacts with Put1p in yeast, suggesting that tQM is directly involved in modulating proline levels. tQM also can rescue yeast from the lethality mediated by the mammalian proapoptotic protein Bax, through the inhibition of ROS generation. Our results suggest that tQM is a component of various stress response pathways and may function in proline-mediated stress tolerance in plants. 相似文献

By analyzing 2830 random sequence tags (RSTs), totalling 2.7 Mb, we explored the genome of the marine, osmo- and halotolerant yeast, Debaryomyces hansenii. A contig 29 kb in length harbors the entire mitochondrial genome. The genes encoding Cox1, Cox2, Cox3, Cob, Atp6, Atp8, Atp9, several subunits of the NADH dehydrogenase complex 1 and 11 tRNAs were unambiguously identified. An equivalent number of putative transposable elements compared to Saccharomyces cerevisiae were detected, the majority of which are more related to higher eukaryote copia elements. BLASTX comparisons of RSTs with databases revealed at least 1119 putative open reading frames with homology to S. cerevisiae and 49 to other genomes. Specific functions, including transport of metabolites, are clearly over-represented in D. hansenii compared to S. cerevisiae, consistent with the observed difference in physiology of the two species. The sequences have been deposited with EMBL under the accession numbers AL436045-AL438874. 相似文献

PPZ1 orthologs, novel members of a phosphoprotein phosphatase family of phosphatases, are found only in fungi. They regulate diverse physiological processes in fungi e.g. ion homeostasis, cell size, cell integrity, etc. Although they are an important determinant of salt tolerance in fungi, their physiological role remained unexplored in any halotolerant species. In this context we report here molecular and functional characterization of DhPPZ1 from Debaryomyces hansenii, which is one of the most halotolerant and osmotolerant species of yeast. Our results showed that DhPPZ1 knock-out strain displayed higher tolerance to toxic cations, and unlike in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Na(+)/H(+) antiporter appeared to have an important role in this process. Besides salt tolerance, DhPPZ1 also had role in cell wall integrity and growth in D. hansenii. We have also identified a short, serine-arginine-rich sequence motif in DhPpz1p that is essential for its role in salt tolerance but not in other physiological processes. Taken together, these results underscore a distinct role of DhPpz1p in D. hansenii and illustrate an example of how organisms utilize the same molecular tool box differently to garner adaptive fitness for their respective ecological niches. 相似文献

By using the isotope pairs (22)Na-(24)Na and (42)K-(86)Rb, the uptake and retention of Na and K was studied in the salt-tolerant Debaryomyces hansenii and in the less tolerant Saccharomyces cerevisiae at NaCl levels of 4 mm and 0.68, 1.35, and 2.7 m in the medium. The ratio of K to Na is much higher in the cells than in the media, and higher in D. hansenii than in S. cerevisiae under comparable conditions. The difference between the two species is due to a better Na extrusion and a better uptake of K in D. hansenii. The kinetics of ion transport show that at about the time when extrusion of Na could be demonstrated in D. hansenii, K-Rb previously lost to an easily washable compartment of the cells was reabsorbed in both organisms. More H(+) was given off from S. cerevisiae than from D. hansenii in the course of these events. The findings fit the working hypothesis tested, which regards salt tolerance as partly dependent on the ability to mobilize energy to extrude Na from the cells and to take up K. The volume changes in S. cerevisiae are greater and are more slowly overcome than those in D. hansenii. The total salt level of the cells is not sufficient to counteract the osmotic potential of the medium, so that additional osmoregulatory mechanisms must be involved in determining halotolerance. 相似文献

Sterol content, fatty acid composition of phospholipids, and permeability of labeled ethylene glycols in relation to salt-tolerance of yeasts 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Two yeasts, the salt-tolerant Debaryomyces hansenii and the non-tolerant Saccharomyces cerevisiae were grown in basal media (4 m M NaCl) and also a high salinities that produced a similar salt stress in the two species in terms of growth rate reduction (i.e., 1.4 M NaCl for S. cerevisae and 2.7 M NaCl for D. hansenii ). A study was made of the sterol content, the fatty acid composition of the phospholipids, and the permeation of a series of tritiated ethylene glycols of graded molecular weights. On the basis of cell dry weight the amount of total and free sterols increased in both species when cultured at high salinity. Irrespective of growth medium salinity, the molar ratio of free sterols to phospholipids was higher in D. hansenii than in S. cerevisiae . Increased salinity produced only minor changes in the fatty acid composition of the phospholipids in D. hansenii , whereas in S. cerevisiae there was a marked decrease of linolenic acid with a concomitant increase of linoleic acid.
In both yeasts there was an energy linked component in the uptake of ethylene glycol, which component could be inhibited by sodium azide and N -ethylmaleimide. The passive permeability for ethylene-, diethylene- and triethylene glycol increased for both species at increased salinity. This increase was more pronounced for S. cerevisiae than for D. hansenii . Polyethylene glycol of M , 200 as well as higher polyethylene glycols appeared to be excluded or very slowly admitted by the yeasts. 相似文献

The amplification by PCR of the Intergenic Spacer region (IGS) of rDNA followed by Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) analysis was evaluated as a potential method for the identification of Debaryomyces hansenii among other yeast species that frequently contaminate Intermediate-Moisture Foods (IMFs). For a first rapid differentiation at the species level, the determination of the IGS-PCR fragment size was found to be a useful approach. The digestion of this region with the enzymes HhaI, HapII and MboI resulted in specific patterns that permit the identification of D. hansenii among other yeast species. This method also permitted the discrimination between the D. hansenii varieties (var. hansenii and var. fabryi) as well as the differentiation of D. hansenii from other species of the genus, such as Debaryomyces pseudopolymorphus or Debaryomyces polymorphus var. polymorphus. The IGS-PCR RFLP method was assayed for the differential detection of D. hansenii in contaminated or spoiled IMF products and compared with traditional identification procedures, resulting in a 100% detection rate for D. hansenii. 相似文献
