Yeasts that are present in marine environments have evolved to survive hostile environments that are characterized by high exogenous salt content, high concentrations of inhibitory compounds, and low soluble carbon and nitrogen levels. [] Key Method The new method includes a three-cycle enrichment step followed by an isolation step and a confirmation step. Using this method, 116 marine yeast strains were isolated from 14 marine samples collected in the UK, Egypt, and the USA.

Occurrence and Distribution of Strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in China Seas

It was found that most of the strains of S. cerevisiae in marine environments occurred in guts, the surface of marine fish and mangrove trees, in contrast, they were not found in seawater and sediments, and may be related to the harsh marine environments from which they were isolated.

Utilisation of novel marine yeast and seawater-based media for the production of bioethanol

Bioethanol can be considered as one of the best replacements for petrol because of its positive impact on environment and many other advantages. Currently, bioethanol accounts for around 2% of the…

The establishment of a marine focused biorefinery for bioethanol production using seawater and a novel marine yeast strain

Investigation of the use of seawater-based media and a novel marine yeast strain ‘Saccharomyces cerevisiae AZ65’ to reduce the water footprint of bioethanol and revealed that marine yeast is a potential candidate for use in theBioethanol industry especially when using seawater or high salt based fermentation media.

Molecular Identification and Biochemical Characterization of Novel Marine Yeast Strains with Potential Application in Industrial Biotechnology

Five strains of marine yeast isolated, molecularly identified and biochemically characterized represent a source of alternative ingredients for food, feed and other sectors and could be classified not only as oleaginous yeasts but also as single cell protein (SCP) and single cell oil (SCO) producers.

Genome Sequence and Analysis of the Flavinogenic Yeast Candida membranifaciens IST 626

This work put forward C. membranifaciens IST 626 as a riboflavin overproducer and provides valuable molecular data for future development of superior producing strains capable of using the wide range of carbon sources, which is a characteristic trait of the species.
