Schwanniomyces etchellsii, acid-thermotolerant yeasts from urban city soil.

Acid-tolerant yeasts are one of the important keys to producing ethanol from acidic substrates, especially from molasses and agricultural waste. In this study, selected cultivars of yeasts isolated from a variety of locations such as botanical gardens in Thailand urban areas, which are often found highly polluted in the air such as carbon dioxide which is a cause of acid rain. There is limited information about how tolerant yeasts, are or their functional properties related to the environment.

A novel oleaginous yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae CU-TPD4 for lipid and biodiesel production.

This study reports on the novel Saccharomyces cerevisiae CU-TPD4 that was isolated from coconut waste residues obtained from a coconut factory in Thailand. The CU-TPD4 isolate was confirmed to be a S. cerevisiae by molecular analysis and to be an oleaginous yeast with more than 20% (w/w) of the cell dry weight (CDW) present in the form of lipids.

Dataset of blood cockle () microbiota from coastal areas and earthen-pond farms around the upper Gulf of Thailand.

The blood cockle (), a bivalve mollusc, is a unique seafood item in Southeast Asia. Bivalve molluscs are filter feeders upon plankton, and so they may bioaccumulate microbes and heavy metals in their tissues. Bacteria survival can be enhanced by living inside the shell and they can subsequently infect humans and higher vertebrates after ingestion of the bivalve.
