The oleaginous yeast Lipomyces starkeyi is a powerful lipid producer with great industrial potential. Recent studies have reported the isolation of mutant L. starkeyi cells with higher lipid producing capacity. Although genetic engineering strategies have been applied to L. starkeyi, classical genetic approaches are lacking. The development of tools that facilitate genetic crosses in L. starkeyi would...
The RidA subfamily of the Rid (YjgF/YER057c/UK114) superfamily of proteins is broadly distributed and found in all domains of life. RidA proteins are enamine/imine deaminases. In the organisms that have been investigated, lack of RidA results in accumulation of the reactive enamine species 2‐aminoacrylate (2AA) and/or its derivative imine 2‐iminopropanoate (2IP). The accumulated enamine/imine species...
Antimicrobial drug resistance is a serious challenge in clinical settings worldwide, with biofilm formation having been associated with this problem. In the present study, the synergism of oligostyrylbenzene (OSB) compounds in combination with amphotericin B (AmB) against Candida tropicalis biofilms was investigated. In addition, the toxicity in human blood cells was determined. Synergistic combinations...
