Yarrowia lipolytica is one of the most extensively studied ‘‘non-conventional’’ yeasts, being a strictly aerobic microorganism capable of producing important metabolites and having an intense secretory activity, which justifies efforts to use it in industry (as a biocatalyst), in molecular biology and in genetics studies. Moreover, Y. lipolytica has been considered an adequate model for dimorphism studies in ye...
Stress conditions (thermal and oxidative) were applied to Yarrowia lipolytica culture. A rearrangement in cell metabolism as well as dimorphism was observed under these conditions. An image analysis procedure was employed for morphology characterization, and a net increase of around 25% on hyphae formation was detected. A significant increment in total hyphal length was detected, compared with the control syste...
Yarrowia lipolytica is an aerobic microrganism capable to produce important metabolites, has an intense secretory activity which drives efforts to be employed in industry (as a biocatalyst), in molecular biology and genetics studies. Dimorphism is refeered to fungi ability to growth in two distinct forms, usually as single oval cells os as a filament and to be reversible between each one. The cell shape is cont...
