Article Abstract
The selected thermotolerant, lactose-utilizing yeast strain Kluyveromyces marxianus NBIMCC 8362 possesses high specific d-amino acid oxidase activity (60Ug(-1)), which was increased nine-fold (545Ug(-1)) by design of the growth medium and conditions for d-amino oxidase induction. Applying an optimized simple and rapid procedure for chemical permeabilization of K. marxianus cells with the cationic detergent cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, the enzyme activities (d-amino acid oxidase and catalase) of the cells have been further increased for up to 43- and 58-fold, respectively. However, the enzyme activities of the permeabilized cells decreased rapidly due to the leakage of the enzymes. Treating the permeabilized cells with 0.1% glutaraldehyde at 4°C for 10min stabilized the enzyme in the cells and prevented their outflow. The process is stable for 10 cycles and the productivity measured was 16.6mmmoll(-1)h(-1). The d-alanine transformation efficiency of K. marxianus permeabilized and GA entrapted cells was 98%.

SUMMARYMany yeast species causing life-threatening invasive infections that were formerly classified in the genus have been reclassified due to their evolutionary and phylogenetic relationships elucidated by DNA sequencing methods that are increasingly using whole genomes. This review explores the evolving taxonomy, epidemiology, and clinical implications of clinically relevant, rare, emerging and Saccharomycotina yeasts that have recently been reclassified from . This article highlights the urgent need for intensified research efforts to enhance knowledge and improve outcomes in the management of infections caused by these yeasts.

This study explores the potential of probiotic bacteria-yeast co-cultivation to enhance microbial growth and postbiotic production using halophyte-based media. Initial screening of six yeast strains revealed variations in nutrient utilization, with Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Kluyveromyces marxianus DSM 7238, and Cyberlindnera jadinii DSM 2361, demonstrating superior carbon source consumption and biomass production. Co-cultivation with Bacillus coagulans ATCC 7050 enhanced overall product formation, whereas Lactiplantibacillus plantarum DSM 13272 had undesirable effects on product formation.

exhibits advantages such as strong thermotolerance, rapid growth rate, and high safety, making it an excellent host cell for the production of bio-based products. In this study, two exopolysaccharides, KE1 and KE2, were isolated from the fermentation broth of the strain KM-502, and their hydroxyl radical scavenging, DPPH scavenging, and Fe-reducing activities were evaluated. In vitro antioxidant assays demonstrated that exopolysaccharide KE2 exhibited superior antioxidant activity compared to KE1.

Nicotinamide riboside kinase (NRK) is an important enzyme in the nicotinamide riboside (NR) metabolic pathway, converting NR to nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), which has promising industrial applications. However, structural collapse in many NRKs reduces their activity and thermal stability, limiting their industrial potential. Herein, we developed an α-helix reconstruction method on a Kag-NRK from Kluyveromyces marxianus for restore its activity and stability together.

Designing CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) single guide RNA (sgRNA) libraries targeting entire kingdoms of life will significantly advance genetic research in diverse and underexplored taxa. Current sgRNA design tools are often species-specific and fail to scale to large, phylogenetically diverse datasets, limiting their applicability to comparative genomics, evolutionary studies, and biotechnology. Here, we introduce ALLEGRO, a combinatorial optimization algorithm designed to compose minimal, yet highly effective sgRNA libraries targeting thousands of species at the same time.
