Identification, antifungal susceptibility and scanning electron microscopy of a keratinolytic strain of Rhodotorula mucilaginosa: a primary causative agent of onychomycosis

Onychomycosis is a dermatological problem of high prevalence that mainly affects the hallux toenail. Onychomycosis caused by the yeast Rhodotorula mucilaginosa was identified using colony morphology, light microscopy, urease and carbohydrate metabolism in a 57-year-old immunocompetent patient from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. High-resolution scanning electron microscopy of nail fragments, processed by a noncoating method, led to the observation with fine detail of the structures of both nail and fungus involved in the infection. Yeasts were mainly found inside grooves in the nail. Budding yeasts presented a spiral pattern of growth and blastoconidia were found in the nail groove region. Keratinase assays and keratin enzymography revealed that this isolate was highly capable of degrading keratin. Antifungal susceptibility tests showed that the fungus was susceptible to low concentrations of amphotericin B and 5-flucytosine and resistant to high concentrations of fluconazole, itraconazole, voriconazole and terbinafine. These findings showed data for the first time concerning the interaction of R. mucilaginosa in toenail infection and suggest that this emerging yeast should also be considered an opportunistic primary causative agent of onychomycosis.

Effects of temperature on metal tolerance and the accumulation of Zn and Pb by metal-tolerant fungi isolated from urban runoff treatment wetlands

Aims:  To investigate the ability of two fungi to accumulate Zn and Pb, the effect of temperature on their metal tolerance and possible mechanisms involved in metal accumulation.
Methods and results:  Beauveria bassiana and Rhodotorula mucilaginosa isolated from constructed wetlands receiving urban runoff were grown in modified glycerol asparagine medium containing elevated levels of Zn and Pb at 30°C. Beauveria bassiana accumulated up to 0·64% of available Zn and 8·44% of Pb. The corresponding values for R. mucilaginosa were up to 2·05% for Zn and 16·55% for Pb. Radial growth of colonies grown at 4° and 30°C on agar containing Zn or Pb indicated that metal tolerance was not seriously affected by a decrease in temperature. Transmission electron microscopy and emission dispersion x-ray spectrophotometry suggested that the mechanism of resistance in B. bassiana may be associated with the precipitation of Pb (possibly in the form of oxalates).
Conclusion:  The processes of biosorption could potentially occur throughout the year with both living and dead cells able to accumulate metals.
Significance and Impact of the Study:  Identified precipitation processes could be an important mechanism in metal removal in wetland substrates serving as long-term storage sinks.     

Biofilm formation by the yeast Rhodotorula mucilaginosa: process,repeatability and cell attachment in a continuous biofilm reactor

Yeast biofilms contribute to quality impairment of industrial processes and also play an important role in clinical infections. Little is known about biofilm formation and their treatment. The aim of this study was to establish a multi-layer yeast biofilm model using a modified 3.7 l bench-top bioreactor operated in continuous mode (D = 0.12 h^?1). The repeatability of biofilm formation was tested by comparing five bioprocesses with Rhodotorula mucilaginosa, a strain isolated from washing machines. The amount of biofilm formed after 6 days post inoculation was 83 μg cm^?2 protein, 197 μg cm^?2 polysaccharide and 6.9 × 10⁶ CFU cm^?2 on smooth polypropylene surfaces. Roughening the surface doubled the amount of biofilm but also increased its spatial variability. Plasma modification of polypropylene significantly reduced the hydrophobicity but did not enhance cell attachment. The biofilm formed on polypropylene coupons could be used for sanitation studies.     

A chimaeric hygromycin resistance gene as a selectable marker in plant cells

Summary We show here that plant cells are sensitive to the antibiotic hygromycin-B⁴. We also show that a chimaeric gene consisting of the nopaline synthase (nos) gene regulatory elements and the E. coli derived hygromycin phosphotransferase (hpt) gene, when transferred to plants' cells, confers resistance to hygromycin B. The chimaeric nos-hpt gene enables efficient selection of DNA transfer to plant cells when used in conjunction with Ti plasmid-derived binary vectors in cocultivation experiments.
