Alexandre Guilliermond
Marie Antoine Alexandre Guilliermond (19 August 1876 – 1 April 1945) was a French botanist and mycologist who specialized in cytological studies of the yeasts, fungi, and algae. He was among the first to identify sexual reproduction in yeast and published a major review on the yeasts in 1912. Born in Lyons to physician Jacques Guilliermond (1841-1878) and Madeleine Rollet (1856-1893), daughter of professor of hygiene Joseph Rollet, Guilliermond grew up with a numerous physicians in the family. He lost his father at a young age and after his mother remarried he grew up as a shy and reticent youth. He became interested in botany after joining the faculty of sciences at Lyon in 1897. He was influenced by the teaching of Maurice Caullery, Eugène Bataillon, and Louis Matruchot. He graduated in 1899 and began to study the yeasts, receiving a doctorate in 1902. He became a lecturer at the University of Paris in 1913 and became a chair of botany at Sorbonne in 1935 where he succeeded P ...

Comité Des Travaux Historiques Et Scientifiques
The Comité des travaux historiques et scientifiques (CTHS) (''Committee for Historic and Scientific Works'') is a French research institution created by the Minister of Public Education François Guizot on 18 July 1834 for the purpose of 'leading research and making available unpublished documents, with funds voted from the state budget." Its mission includes promoting the work of learned societies. It is currently affiliated to the École Nationale des Chartes. In 2017, its president was Maurice Hamon and its deputy head was Christophe Marion. Original remit While he was Minister of Public Instruction, François Guizot was much occupied with what he described in his report of 31 December 1833 as the "systematic publication of all significant materials about the history of our country which are still unedited." To this end he established a committee on 18 July 1834, charged with directing research into documents and, with the support of public funds, their publication in its j ...

Hanseniaspora Guilliermondii
''Hanseniaspora guilliermondii'' is a species of yeast in the family Saccharomycetaceae. In its anamorph form, it is called ''Kloeckera apis''. Taxonomy The initial sample of the species was isolated by South African pathologist Adrianus Pijper from an infected nail from a patient and assigned the name ''H. guilliermondii''. In 1952, the species was placed in synonymy with '' Hanseniaspora valbyensis''. In 1968, N. J. W. Kerger-Van Rij and Donald G. Ahearn, observed physiological and morphological differences between ''H. valbyensis'' and ''H. guilliermondii'' and proposed a resumed separation of the two species. Their study identified that a third strain, originally described as ''H. melligeri'' by J. Lodder in 1932 that had been isolated from dates and later synonymized with ''H. valbyensis'', was synonymous with ''H. guilliermondii''. Further testing by Meyer, Brown, and Smith in 1977 confirmed the findings of the 1968 study using DNA testing. Further DNA examination ...

Cell Biologists
Cell biology (also cellular biology or cytology) is a branch of biology that studies the structure, function, and behavior of cells. All living organisms are made of cells. A cell is the basic unit of life that is responsible for the living and functioning of organisms. Cell biology is the study of structural and functional units of cells. Cell biology encompasses both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and has many subtopics which may include the study of cell metabolism, cell communication, cell cycle, biochemistry, and cell composition. The study of cells is performed using several microscopy techniques, cell culture, and cell fractionation. These have allowed for and are currently being used for discoveries and research pertaining to how cells function, ultimately giving insight into understanding larger organisms. Knowing the components of cells and how cells work is fundamental to all biological sciences while also being essential for research in biomedical fields su ...

''Meyerozyma guilliermondii'' (formerly known as ''Pichia guilliermondii'' until its rename in 2010) is a species of yeast of the genus '' Meyerozyma'' whose asexual or anamorphic form is known as ''Candida guilliermondii''. ''Candida guilliermondii'' has been isolated from numerous human infections, mostly of cutaneous origin, if only from immunosuppressed patients.

Saccharomyces Guilliermondii
''Saccharomyces'' is a genus of fungi that includes many species of yeasts. ''Saccharomyces'' is from Greek σάκχαρον (sugar) and μύκης (fungus) and means ''sugar fungus''. Many members of this genus are considered very important in food production. It is known as the brewer's yeast or baker's yeast. They are unicellular and saprotrophic fungi. One example is ''Saccharomyces cerevisiae'', which is used in making bread, wine, and beer, and for human and animal health. Other members of this genus include the wild yeast ''Saccharomyces paradoxus'' that is the closest relative to ''S. cerevisiae'', ''Saccharomyces bayanus'', used in making wine, and ''Saccharomyces cerevisiae'' var. ''boulardii'', used in medicine. Morphology Colonies of ''Saccharomyces'' grow rapidly and mature in three days. They are flat, smooth, moist, glistening or dull, and cream in color. The inability to use nitrate and ability to ferment various carbohydrates are typical characteristics of ''Sac ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
