The aim of this study isolation and molecular taxonomically treated of Galactomyces spp and other Candida spp. correlated with dairy products. The results showed that most dairy samples companioned with two species of Galactomyces: G.candidum and G.geotrichum , D. capitatus and four species of Candida spp.: Candida krusei , C. kefyr, C. utilis and C.glabrata .A total of 23 fungal isolates were diagnosed based on universal primers ITS1 / ITS4 to amplify the Internal transcribed region spacer. Four doubtful G.candidum isolates showed unique sizes of products PCR ranged between 380-400 bp. other Candida PCR product ranged 420-780bp. Sequence analysis identified a doubtful G.candidum into G. candidum and G.geotrichum with 97% similarities and with D. capitatus showed 93% similarities, few intraspecific variation were observed at 312-380bp in the amplicons from the primer pair ITS1-ITS4 commonly are from 380 to 400 bp for G.

Balzarini 1, 64100 Teramo, Italy; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +57-5-3599484 Received: 23 October 2018; Accepted: 7 January 2019; Published: 6 February 2019 Abstract: The conventional treatments used to remove dyes produced as a result of different industrial activities are not completely effective. At times, some toxic by-products are generated, affecting aquatic ecosystems. In this article, an efficient use of microorganisms is presented as a biodegradation technique that is a safe environmental alternative for the benefit of aquatic life. A strain of the yeast Galactomyces geotrichum KL20A isolated from Kumis (a Colombian natural fermented milk) was used for Methylene Blue (MB) bioremoval. Two parameters of the bioremediation process were studied at three different levels: initial dye concentration and growth temperature. The maximum time of MB exposure to the yeast was 48 h. Finally, a pseudo-first-order model was used to simulate the kinetics of the process. The removal percentages of MB, by action of G. geotrichum KL20A were greater than 70% under the best operating conditions and in addition, the kinetic simulation of the experimental results indicated that the constant rate of the process was 2.2 × 10-2 h−1 with a half time for biotransformation of 31.2 h.

    Understanding and Measuring the Shelf-Life of Food Related Titles from Woodhead's Food Science, Technology and Nutrition List

    Understanding and measuring the shelf-life of food Related titles from Woodhead's food science, technology and nutrition list: The stability and shelf-life of food (ISBN 1 85573 500 8) The stability and shelf-life of a food product are critical to its success in the market place, yet companies experience considerable difficulties in defining and understanding the factors that influence stability over a desired storage period. This book is the most comprehensive guide to understanding and controlling the factors that determine the shelf-life of food products. Taints and off-flavours in foods (ISBN 1 85573 449 4) Taints and off-flavours are a major problem for the food industry. Part I of this important collection reviews the major causes of taints and off-flavours, from oxidative rancidity and microbiologically-derived off-flavours, to packaging materials as a source of taints. The second part of the book discusses the range of techniques for detecting taints and off-flavours, from sensory analysis to instrumental techniques, including the development of new rapid on-line sensors. Colour in food ± Improving quality (ISBN 1 85573 590 3) The colour of a food is central to consumer perceptions of quality. This important new collection reviews key issues in controlling colour quality in food, from the chemistry of colour in food to measurement issues, improving natural colour and the use of colourings to improve colour quality.

(2007) A new species of Galactomyces and first reports of four fungi on wheat roots in the United Kingdom. Sydowia 60 (1): 69±92. A new species, Galactomyces britannicum (IMI395371, MycoBank 511261), is described from the roots of wheat in the UK. Dendryphion penicillatum var. sclerotiale, Fusariella indica, Pseudogymnoascus appendiculatus and Volucrispora graminea are reported for the first time from roots, rhizosphere or stem bases of wheat in the UK. A microconidiogenus synanamorph is described for V. graminea and the species is epitypified to reflect this amendment. Keywords: Dendryphion penicillatum var. sclerotiale, Fusariella indica, Galactomyces britannicum, Pseudogymnoascus appendiculatus, taxonomy, Volu- crispora graminea. The introduction of synthetic low nutrient agar (SNA; Nirenberg 1976) to induce fungal sporulation in Fusarium has proved invalu- able for the assessment of fungal diversity on or in the roots and stem bases of cereal plants (Bateman & KwasÂna 1999, Dawson & Bateman 2001a, b). The medium stimulates a fungal sporulation and allows the isolation of slow-growing species. Isolation studies on SNA have led to the recovery of new speciesof fungiand fungipre- viously unknown from cereal crops. This paper describes one new species and reports four rare spe- cies isolated from the roots, rhizosphere, or stem bases at soil level, of wheat grown in the UK.
