Candida genus

Obsolete synonyms Endomyces geotrichum and Dipodascus geotrichum d(21 fungal strains), 70% of them belongs to Candida genus... 

The yeasts currently used and/or studied for SCP production, e.g., Candida utilis, are not able to utilize all sugars present, namely, arabinose, and as they belong to the Candida genus [6-8], they are not suitable for QPS status. It is thus important to develop new YE/ SCP producing processes based on different yeasts. 

Large-scale SCP production processes for growing yeasts of the genus Candida from hydrocarbon substrates were developed by British Petroleum Co., Ltd. and Kanegafuchi Chemical Industry, Ltd. of Japan (57). However, the 100,000-t/yr capacity plants based on these processes, and constmcted in Sardinia and Italy, were abandoned because of regulatory agency questions regarding residual hydrocarbon contents of the products (2,3). 

The chiral intermediate (S)-l-(2 -bromo-4 -fluorophenyl) ethanol was prepared by the enantioselective microbial reduction of 2-bromo-4-fiuoroacetophenone [lObj. Organisms from genus Candida, Hansmula, Pichia, Rhodotcnda, Saccharomyces, Sphingomonas, and baker s yeast reduced the ketone to the corresponding alcohol in... 

Other species in the Salvia genus have been shown to contain antimicrobial compounds. For example. Salvia sclarea was shown to contain various compounds which were active against Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans, and Proteus mirabilis (25), suggesting the possibility that. S, divinorum might be a source of unique antimicrobials as well. 

Candida is a genus of yeast that when allowed to grow excessively, can lead to a (vaginal) yeast infection. This yeast infection can arise in MCS patients from time to time. Anal itching is also often a sign that there is too much Candida in the intestines. 

Sponges of the genus Plakina were collected from shallow waters of Mant Island, Ponape, where they were found to grow widely and kill corals. The crude extract of the sponge showed antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans (18).
