Geotrichum candidum is yeast like fungi that cause infections in immunocompromised patients. We report a case of renal fungal ball with Geotrichum candidum in a 27 yr. old women post-partum. This case to our knowledge is the first case of renal fungal bezoar due to Geotrichum candidum reported in India.

Substrate expansion of Geotrichum candidum alcohol dehydrogenase towards diaryl ketones by mutation.

Appl Microbiol Biotechnol

Chiral diaryl alcohols, such as (4-chlorophenyl)(pyridin-2-yl)methanol, are important intermediates for pharmaceutical synthesis. However, using alcohol dehydrogenases (ADHs) in the asymmetric reduction of diaryl ketones to produce the corresponding alcohols is challenging due to steric hindrance in the substrate binding pockets of the enzymes. In this study, the steric hindrance of the ADH from Geotrichum candidum NBRC 4597 (G.

Geotrichum candidum Link (1809) is a yeast-like fungus that causes sour rot of peach (Prunus persica). Outbreaks of the disease have occurred since 2021 in peach fruit kept in cold storage despite post-harvest treatments with propiconazole at a commercial farm in South Carolina (SC). A total of 58 isolates, 40 from symptomatic fruit from cold storage in Saluda County (SC packing house isolates), 11 from three SC orchards in Saluda County, Spartanburg County, and Pickens County (SC non-packing house isolates), and 7 California (CA) isolates (at least 3 from packing houses) were evaluated for propiconazole sensitivity.

Fludioxonil and propiconazole are frequently used fungicides for managing fungal diseases in specialty crops. They are often used in mixture to manage brown rot caused by Monilinia fructicola and sour rot caused by the yeast-like fungus Geotrichum candidum,respectively, on stone fruits. Research indicated, however, that fludioxonil can increase the expression of the ATP-binding cassette transporters CDR1 and CDR2 in the yeast Candida albicans, leading to increased resistance to DMI fungicides.
