Biosurfactants have been widely used in various industrial fields including medicine, food, cosmetics, detergent, pulp and paper, and oil and fat degradation. The culture broth of Aureobasidium pullulans A11211-4-57 using glucose as carbon source exhibited potent surfactant activity. The culture broth was separated by column chromatographies using ODS, silica gel, and Sephadex LH-20 resins, consecutively, to provide two biosurfactants. Based on mass and NMR measurements, their structures were determined as myo-inositol lipids and named pullusurfactans F and G. These compounds showed a high degree of activity, with 27.25 mN/m and 24.07 mN/m, respectively, at 1.0 mg l, which is useful for washing and cleaning agents.

Background And Purpose: Plants are crucial habitats for fungus communities as they provide an appropriate physical environment for the growth and reproduction of the yeast microbiome. Varieties of pathogenic and non-pathogenic yeast could be found in trees. Although species are the most common pathogenic yeasts associated with trees, other yeasts also grow on trees and are critical to human health.

This study investigates the effect of maceration and different winemaking techniques on the species diversity of yeasts in white wines from the Slovak Tokay wine region, known for its traditional white wine production. Lipovina grape variety samples were divided into three groups: control (C), macerated (M) and macerated with the addition of a yeast culture (MY). During the entire fermentation process, quantitative and qualitative microbiological analyses of the raw material and must samples were carried out, which resulted in the identification of 60 yeast isolates via the API 20 C AUX biochemical test and MALDI-TOF MS.
