Abstract: | A total of 328 yeast strains from seawater, sediments, mud of salterns, the guts of marine fish and marine algae were obtained.
The results of routine identification and molecular methods show that five yeast strains obtained in this study belonged to
Pichia spp., including Pichia guilliermondii 1uv-small, Pichia ohmeri YF04d, Pichia fermentans YF12b, Pichia burtonii YF11A and Pichia anomala YF07b. Further studies revealed that Pichia anomala YF07b could produce killer toxin against pathogenic yeasts in crabs while Pichia guilliermondii 1uv-small could produce high activity of extracellular inulinase. It is advisable to test if Pichia ohmeri YF04d obtained in this study is related to central-venous-catheter-associated infection. |
