Arxula adeninivorans

Traditional and well-established yeast species are Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Hansenula polymorpha, Klyveromyces lactis, Pichia pastoris and Schizosaccharomyces pombe. With every year that passes they are increasingly being used in industrial and pharmaceutical enzyme production on a large scale. Many further yeasts present interesting features (e.g. Arxula adeninivorans and Yarrowia lipolytica), but are not that widely used.

A recently described biosensor consisting of cells of the yeast Arxula adeninivorans showed a higher sensitivity to many of the substances listed in Table 2, when compared with BOD-sensors based on other microorganisms [ 18, 19,55]. 

The superiority of the Arxula adeninivorans-containing sensor in comparison to the commercial BOD-sensor with Issatchenkia orientalis and Rhodococcus erythropolis is demonstrated in Table 3, where data of the determination of the BOD of different domestic wastewater are given [19].
