Yeasts occur in all environments and have been described as potent antagonists of various
plant pathogens. Due to their antagonistic ability, undemanding cultivation requirements …

The killer phenomenon in yeasts has been revealed to be a multicentric model for molecular
biologists, virologists, phytopathologists, epidemiologists, industrial and medical …

The functions of many open reading frames (ORFs) identified in genome-sequencing
projects are unknown. New, whole-genome approaches are required to systematically …

In the past three decades invasive mycoses have globally emerged as a persistent source of
healthcare-associated infections. The cell wall surrounding the fungal cell opposes the …

In fungi and many other organisms, a thick outer cell wall is responsible for determining the
shape of the cell and for maintaining its integrity. The budding yeast Saccharomyces …

In the brewing process, the consumption of resources and the amount of waste generated
are high and due to a lot of organic compounds in waste-water, the capacity of natural …

A reliable acid hydrolysis method for quantitative determination of the proportion of β‐

The echinocandins and pneumocandins are lipopeptide antifungal agents that inhibit the
synthesis of 1, 3-β-d-glucan, an essential cell wall homopolysaccharide found in many …

Mutation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae RLM1, which encodes a MADS-box transcription
factor, confers resistance to the toxic effects of constitutive activity of the Mpk1 mitogen …

In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the family of RHO genes are implicated in the
