Journal ArticleDOI

Capacitance and ionic association at the electrified oil ∣ water interface: the effect of the oil phase composition

TL;DR: In this paper, the capacitance of the polarisable aqueous ∣ organic interface was measured with the impedance method, varying both the solvent and the electrolyte of the organic phase.
Journal ArticleDOI

Differences in the flocculation mechanism of Kluyveromyces marxianus and Saccharomyces cerevisiae

TL;DR: The obtained results indicated that the structure and/or the spatial arrangement of the cell wall groups involved in flocculation are not the same in K. marxianus as in S. cerevisiae.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synthesis of naphtho[2,3-a]phenoxazinium chlorides: structure-activity relationships of these heterocycles and benzo[a]phenoxazinium chlorides as new antimicrobials.

TL;DR: The linkage of different amino acids to the functional group of the 5-amino position of diaminobenzo[a]phenoxazinium moiety resulted in compounds with diverse antimicrobial efficiencies, depending on the polar character of the amino acid, on its linkage position and on the size of the alkyl chain linker.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulation of cell death induced by acetic acid in yeasts

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a comprehensive literature review to compile information from published studies performed with lethal concentrations of acetic acid, which shed light on regulated cell death mechanisms, including functional and structural alterations, and in-depth description of its pharmacological and genetic regulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ammonium-dependent shortening of CLS in yeast cells starved for essential amino acids is determined by the specific amino acid deprived, through different signaling pathways

TL;DR: The data show that NH4 + toxicity can be modulated through manipulation of the specific essential amino acid supplied to cells and of the conserved Ras2p, Tor1p, and Sch9p regulators, thus providing new clues to the development of environmental interventions for CLS extension and to the identification of new therapeutic targets for diseases associated with hyperammonemia.
