Original Amount

The killer toxin (KT 28), a glycoprotein of Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain 28, was almost completely adsorbed by bentonite, when applied at a concentration of 1 g per liter. No significant differences were found between several types of bentonite. Killer toxin KT 28 is similarly adsorbed by intact yeast cells or by a commercial preparation of yeast cell walls that has been recommended to prevent stuck fermentations. An investigation of the cell wall fractions revealed that the toxin KT 28 was mainly adsorbed by mannan, that removed the toxin completely. The alkali-soluble and the alkali-insoluble β-1,3- and β-1,6-D-glucans lowered the toxin concentration to one tenth of the original amount. The killer toxin of the type K1 of S. cerevisiae was adsorbed much better by glucans than by mannan.

1. When Cytophaga johnsonii was grown in the presence of suitable inducers the culture fluid was capable of lysing thiol-treated yeast cell walls in vitro. 2. Autoclaved or alkali-extracted cells, isolated cell walls and glucan preparations made from them were effective inducers, but living yeast cells or cells killed by minimal heat treatment were not. 3. Chromatographic fractionation of lytic culture fluids showed the presence of two types of endo-β-(1→3)-glucanase and several β-(1→6)-glucanases; the latter may be induced separately by growing the myxo-bacterium in the presence of lutean. 4. Extensive solubilization of yeast cell walls was obtained only with preparations of one of these glucanases, an endo-β-(1→3)-glucanase producing as end products mainly oligosaccharides having five or more residues. Lysis by the other endo-β-(1→3)-glucanase was incomplete. 5. The β-(1→6)-glucanases produced a uniform thinning of the cell walls, and mannan–peptide was found in the solution. 6. These results, and the actions of the enzyme preparations on a variety of wall-derived preparations made from baker's yeast, are discussed in the light of present conceptions of yeast cell-wall structure.

Background. U65, a self-aggregating peptide scaffold, traps fused protein antigens in yeast cells. Conversion to Yeast Cell Particle (YCP) vaccines by partial removal of surface mannoproteins exposesβ-glucan, mediating efficient uptake by antigen-presenting cells (APCs). YCP vaccines are inexpensive, capable of rapid large-scale production and have potential for both parenteral and oral use.Results. YCP processing by alkaline hydrolysis exposes up to 20% of the glucan but converts scaffolded antigen and internal yeast proteins into a common aggregate, preventing selective yeast protein removal. For U65-green fluorescent protein (GFP) or U65-Apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1) subcutaneous vaccines, maximal IgG responses in mice required 10% glucan exposure. IgG responses to yeast proteins were 5-fold lower. Proteolytic mannoprotein removal produced YCPs with only 6% glucan exposure, insufficiently porous for selective removal of even native yeast proteins. Vaccine efficacy was reduced 10-fold. Current YCP formulations, therefore, are not suitable for human use but have considerable potential for use in feed animal vaccines. Significantly, a YCP vaccine expressing a GFP fusion to VP1, the murine polyoma virus major capsid protein, after either oral or subcutaneous administration, protected mice against an intraperitoneal polyoma virus challenge, reducing viral DNA levels in spleen and liver by >98%.

The selection of B. subtilis strains was carried out with 15 strains from the collections of the Vietnam National University of Agriculture and the University of Economic and Technical Industries, Hanoi, Vietnam. To investigate the specific ability of β-glucanase in supporting the hydrolysis of beer yeast cells, CMC substrates in enzyme-activated test media of traditional methods was replaced by yeast cell walls in this study. The B. subtilis strains were activated on Nutrient Broth culture and then transplanted into MT3 culture for producing β-glucanase. Optical density (OD600nm) measurement was used to estimate the bacterial density. The β-glucanase activity formed by bacteria cells free supernatant was quantified by agar diffusion method on the enzyme-activated test media MT4. Two B. Subtilis strains , BG21 and BG15, were selected based on their largest clear-zones on agar plates. By modifying the values of the affecting factors and keeping the remaining influencing factors unchanged, it was determined that the B. subtilis BG21 and BG15 strains produced the highest biomass at the conditions of the culture time of 24 and 28 h, at pH 7.0, and at 37oC, respectively; furthermore, the highest activity of β-glucanase of the two strains BG21 and BG15 was exhibited at the culture time of 52 and 56 h, at pH 7.0, and at 37oC, respectively.Practical applicationsBacillus subtilis strains with the highest β-glucanase producing ability will be used for the production of biological products containing B. subtilis and β-glucanase which supports the hydrolysis of the beer yeast cells in the production of pig feed.

Effects Of Aging

A wine model was evaluated to determine the influence of aging on the ability of whole yeast cells (WY) and yeast cell walls (YCW) to remove ochratoxin A (OTA). Aging and autolysis were monitored for 214 h in the model wine. The original concentration of OTA in the model wine was 10 μg/liter, and WY and YCW were added at a final concentration of 1 g/liter. YCW mannoproteins were involved in the removal of OTA from the model wine through adsorption mechanisms. Aging affected the capacity of WY to remove OTA, but YCW removal capacity remained constant during aging. A previous heat treatment (85°C for 10 min) of WY and YCW increased their removal capacity and increased the efficiency of the decontamination process.

<p style="text-align: justify;">Osidases located in periplasmic space of <em>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</em> are able to hydrolyse monoterpenes heterosides of Muscat grapes. To prepare the periplasmic extract, yeast cell walls are digested with <em>Zymolyase</em> in the presence of an osmotic protector to prevent lysis of the resulting protoplasts; periplasmic enzymes are liberated into the supernatant medium. Monoterpenes heterosides are incubated 48 or 72 hours at 25° C with either intact yeast cells or periplasmic enzymatic extract. Monoterpenes, especially gerianol and nerol, are liberated in these conditions. β-glucosidase activity seems to play an important rôle in these reactions.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Fungal extracellular β-glucosidases are commonly strongly inhibited by glucose. Surprisingly, the activity of periplasmic yeast β-glucosidase is quite glucose independant. These results suggest that some periplasmic enzymes from yeast may be involved in the hydrolysis of varietal aroma precursors in wines.</p>

In search of high-quality health products, it is required that probiotic preparations consumed in gastro-intestinal condition remain metabolically active and preserve their activity. Several recent studies, consequently, have focused on probiotic protection via encapsulation in order to optimize probiotics’ viability as well as their delivery into gastro-intestinal environment. The objectives of this study were to find out a new material for encapsulation of probiotics, utilizing capsules prepared from Saccharomyces cerevisiae to protect living probiotic cells. The encapsulation of cells was achieved, using the crack scars of the yeast cell walls (YCW) created by the sonication method. Besides, some probiotic cells can be considered as being encapsulated by some surrounded yeast cells by direct cell-cell contact. It is concluded that thanks to encapsulation by yeast cells, probiotic’s metabolic activity and survival are markedly improved. This suggests a high potential in protecting probiotics from the extreme condition of digestion process and can be applied in protecting probiotic preparations in food formulations as well. It was found that encapsulation yield in this study reached its highest point at 82.008 ± 1.123%. Viability of encapsulated probiotic in simulated gastric juice (SGJ) after 150 minutes is 19.048 ± 2.701%, compared to that of free cells at 0%. Likewise, after a 4-hour treatment in simulated intestinal juice (SIJ) (0.5% bile salt) encapsulated probiotic proves better survival at 56.338 ± 5.094% than free cell at 43.677 ± 2.058%.

Microspheres comparable with yeast cells in size were obtained by the glutaraldehyde crosslinking of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), whose 25 g/l water solution containing magnetite particles was dispersed in the isooctane/Span 85/Tween 85 medium. yeast cell walls were partially hydrolysed by sonication in formic acid near the boiling point. The microspheres were made targets for phagocytosis by the addition of yeast lysate to the crosslinkable PVA solution and a subsequent treatment of the freshly crosslinked microspheres with diluted yeast lysate. The microspheres were also made fluorescent when the emulsification medium saturated with fluorescent 2-aminopyrimidine derivatives was used. A protocol for phagocytosis assay using the thus modified microspheres was developed.

The transformation of Cryptococcus spp. by Agrobacterium tumefaciens has proven to be a useful genetic tool. A number of factors affect transformation frequency. These factors include acetosyringone concentration, bacterial cell to yeast cell ratio, cell wall damage, and agar concentration. Agar concentration was found to have a significant effect on the transformant number as transformants increased with agar concentration across all four serotypes. When infection time points were tested, higher agar concentrations were found to result in an earlier transfer of the Ti-plasmid to the yeast cell, with the earliest transformant appearing two h after A. tumefaciens contact with yeast cells. These results demonstrate that A. tumefaciens transformation efficiency can be affected by a variety of factors and continued investigation of these factors can lead to improvements in specific A. tumefaciens/fungus transformation systems.
