Candida Tolerans
''Osmozyma tolerans'' is an ascomycetous yeast species first isolated from Australian ''Hibiscus ''Hibiscus'' is a genus of flowering plants in the Malva, mallow family, Malvaceae. The genus is quite large, comprising List of Hibiscus species, several hundred species that are Native plant, native to warm temperate, Subtropics, subtropical ...'' flowers. It is small and a pseudomycelium is formed. The carbon and nitrogen assimilation pattern is similar to that of '' Zygosaccharomyces rouxii''. Its type strain is UWO (PS) 98-115.5 (CBS 8613).

Hibiscus
''Hibiscus'' is a genus of flowering plants in the Malva, mallow family, Malvaceae. The genus is quite large, comprising List of Hibiscus species, several hundred species that are Native plant, native to warm temperate, Subtropics, subtropical and Tropics, tropical regions throughout the world. Member species are renowned for their large, showy flowers and those species are commonly known simply as "hibiscus", or less widely known as rose mallow. The genus includes both Annual plant, annual and Perennial plant, perennial herbaceous plants, as well as Woody plant, woody shrubs and small trees. Several species are widely cultivated as ornamental plants, notably ''Hibiscus syriacus'' and Hibiscus × rosa-sinensis, ''Hibiscus'' × ''rosa-sinensis''. A Hibiscus tea, tea made from the flowers of ''Hibiscus sabdariffa'' is known by many names around the world and is served both hot and cold. The beverage is known for its red colour, tart flavour, and Vitamin C content. Etymology Th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Zygosaccharomyces Rouxii
''Zygosaccharomyces rouxii'' is a species of yeast in the genus Zygosaccharomyces. Initially described as ''Saccharomyces rouxii'' by Boutroux in 1883, it was then moved to the genus ''Zygosaccharomyces'' in the work of Barnett ''et al''. It is remarkably tolerant of high concentrations of sugar or salt, making it a spoilage agent of otherwise stable foods, but also present in fermentation of products such as soy sauce or balsamic vinegar. Description It is a diploid, homothallic, and osmophilic (capable of withstanding high osmotic pressures, such as high concentrations of sugar) yeast. It produces ethanol by alcoholic fermentation. It is found on grapes, in urine, fermented foods, syrups (maple), honey, grape juice concentrate, marzipan, candied fruit, miso, marmalade, and wine. It is capable of fermenting dextrose (D-glucose) and maltose but has no fermentation activity on sucrose and lactose. Cells are small, round or oval and linked together in chains. It is particular ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Yeasts
Yeasts are eukaryotic, single-celled microorganisms classified as members of the fungus kingdom. The first yeast originated hundreds of millions of years ago, and at least 1,500 species are currently recognized. They are estimated to constitute 1% of all described fungal species. Some yeast species have the ability to develop multicellular characteristics by forming strings of connected budding cells known as pseudohyphae or false hyphae, or quickly evolve into a multicellular cluster with specialised cell organelles function. Yeast sizes vary greatly, depending on species and environment, typically measuring 3–4 μm in diameter, although some yeasts can grow to 40 μm in size. Most yeasts reproduce asexually by mitosis, and many do so by the asymmetric division process known as budding. With their single-celled growth habit, yeasts can be contrasted with molds, which grow hyphae. Fungal species that can take both forms (depending on temperature or other cond ...

Fungi Described In 1999
A fungus (: fungi , , , or ; or funguses) is any member of the group of eukaryotic organisms that includes microorganisms such as yeasts and molds, as well as the more familiar mushrooms. These organisms are classified as one of the traditional eukaryotic kingdoms, along with Animalia, Plantae, and either Protista or Protozoa and Chromista. A characteristic that places fungi in a different kingdom from plants, bacteria, and some protists is chitin in their cell walls. Fungi, like animals, are heterotrophs; they acquire their food by absorbing dissolved molecules, typically by secreting digestive enzymes into their environment. Fungi do not photosynthesize. Growth is their means of mobility, except for spores (a few of which are flagellated), which may travel through the air or water. Fungi are the principal decomposers in ecological systems. These and other differences place fungi in a single group of related organisms, named the ''Eumycota'' (''true fungi'' or ''Eumyce ...
