Molecular and physiological comparisons between Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Saccharomyces boulardii

TL;DR: Results obtained in this study show that S. boulardii is genetically very close or nearly identical to S. cerevisiae, however, it shows a very different behavior, particularly in relation to growth yield and resistance to temperature and acidic stresses, which are important characteristics for a microorganism to be used as a probiotic.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bioleaching of zinc and nickel from silicates using Aspergillus niger cultures

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of bacteria from Bacillus and Pseudomonas and fungi from the genera Aspergillus and Penicillium in the leaching process of two different silicates (calamine and garnierite) was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intracellular Signal Triggered by Cholera Toxin in Saccharomyces boulardii and Saccharomyces cerevisiae

TL;DR: The requirement of CT subunit B for both the cAMP signal and trehalase activation indicates the presence of a specific receptor on the yeasts able to bind to the toxin, a situation similar to that observed for mammalian cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evidence for reductive genome evolution and lateral acquisition of virulence functions in two Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis strains.

Jeronimo C. Ruiz, +61 more

TL;DR: These particular genome characteristics of C. pseudotuberculosis, as well as its acquired virulence factors in pathogenicity islands, provide evidence of its lifestyle and of the pathogenic pathways used by this pathogen in the infection process.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adhesion to the yeast cell surface as a mechanism for trapping pathogenic bacteria by Saccharomyces probiotics

TL;DR: Electron microscopy showed that the phenomenon of yeast-bacteria adhesion occurred both in vitro and in vivo (in the digestive tract of dixenic mice), and some pathogenic bacteria were captured on the surface of Saccharomyces boulardii, SacCharomyces cerevisiae UFMG 905 and Saccharomeces Cerevisiae BY4741, thus preventing their adhesion to specific receptors on the intestinal epithelium and their subsequent invasion of the host.
