In this paper, the screening of potent acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor - producing yeasts from wild yeasts and the condition for the production of anti-dementia AChE inhibitors are described. Among one hundred and seven non-pathogenic wild yeast strains from the waters and soils of three main rivers in Daejeon metropolitan city and midstream of Yeongsangang river in Sangju, sporogenous Saccharomyces cerevisiae WJSL0113 and asporogenous Wickerhamomyces anomalus JSF0128 were selected as useful strains for the production of potent AChE inhibitors. The AChE inhibitors of S. cerevisiae WJSL0113 and W. anomalus JSF0128 had a maximum yield when they were incubated in yeast extract-peptone-dextrose media (pH 6.0 in S. cerevisiae WJSL0113 and pH 5.0 in W. anomalus JSF0128) for 18 hr at $30^{\circ}C$, respectively.

본 연구는 무독화 옻 추출물을 첨가하여 효모 종류별로 제조한 옻식초의 품질 특성을 비교하였다. Saccharomyces cerevisiae Fermivin과 non-Saccharomyces 속인 Pichia, Hanseniaspora 속 등 6종의 효모를 이용하여 알코올 발효시킨 결과, Fermivin이 알코올 함량이 가장 높았으며, Wickerhamomyces와 Pichia에서도 11.2, 12.2%의 알코올 함량을 나타내었다. 알코올 발효액에 초산균 A. pasteurianus KACC16934를 접종하여 초산발효 시킨 결과 pH와 적정 산도는 효모에 따른 차이가 있었다. W. anomalus N43-8을 제외한 모든 옻식초에서 발효 10일 후 pH 3.0 이하로 나타났으며, 적정산도도 W. anomalus N43-8로 발효한 식초가 5.17%로 가장 낮게 나타났고 C. tropicalis Y447로 발효한 식초는 6.66%로 가장 높은 산도를 보였다. 옻식초의 주요 유기산으로 acetic acid가 검출되었으며 W. anomalus N43-8 식초의 유기산은 35.88 mg/mL로 가장 낮았고 C. tropicalis Y447 식초는 55.49 mg/mL로 높은 함량을 나타내었다. 유리 아미노산은 모든 시험구에서 valine, leucine 등의 필수아미노산 7종이 검출되었으며 glutamic acid, alanine이 주요 아미노산으로 확인되었다. 유리아미노산은 $1,314.89{\sim}2,411.65{\mu}g/mL$로 효모의 종류에 따라 차이가 나타났다. 옻식초의 향기 패턴 분석 결과 H. opuntiae HP1-2와 P. kluyveri Frootzen이 비슷한 패턴을 보였으며, S. cerevisiae Fermivin과 C. tropicalis Y447, P. kudriavzeri N77-4가 비슷한 패턴을 보였다. 두 그룹과 W. anomalus N43-8은 전자코 분석 결과 각각의 뚜렷한 향기 패턴을 보였다. 본 연구를 발효 특성이 다른 효모로 식초를 제조할 때, 각각의 효모에 따라 이화학적 특성에 차이가 나는 것으로 보여진다.

Wild yeasts on the surface of various fruits including grapes were surveyed to obtain yeast strains suitable for fermenting a novel wine with higher alcohol content and supplemented with rice starch. We considered selected characteristics, such as tolerance to alcohol and osmotic pressure, capability of utilizing maltose, and starch hydrolysis. Among 637 putative yeast isolates, 115 strains exhibiting better growth in yeast-peptone-dextrose broth containing 30% dextrose, 7% alcohol, or 2% maltose were selected, as well as five ${\alpha}$-amylase producers. Nucleotide sequence analysis of the 26S rDNA gene classified the strains into 13 species belonging to five genera; Pichia anomala was the most prevalent (41.7%), followed by Wickerhamomyces anomalus (19.2%), P. guilliermondii (15%), Candida spp. (5.8%), Kodamaea ohmeri (2.5%), and Metschnikowia spp. (2.5%). All of the ${\alpha}$-amylase producers were Aureobasidium pullulans. Only one isolate (NK28) was identified as Saccharomyces cerevisiae. NK28 had all of the desired properties for the purpose of this study, except ${\alpha}$-amylase production, and fermented alcohol better than commercial wine yeasts.

More than five hundreds of yeast species (including 9 variants) encompassing 142 genera and 48 classes of 2 phyla exist in Korea. However, only 173 species have been cataloged in the National Species List of Korea (NSLK), the backbone reference to claim sovereign rights over biological resources, as of December 2021, due to the lack of taxonomic descriptions, although some of these species are extensively used in industry. The present pilot study investigated the taxonomy of strains belonging to the six most widely used or frequently isolated yeast species (Meyeromyma guilliermondii, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Saccharomycopsis fibuligera, Wickerhamomyces anomalus, Candida tropicalis, and Papiliotrema flavescens) to include these species in the NSLK. Strains with diverse habitats and geographic origins were retrieved from the National Institute of Biological Resources culture collection. These strains clustered in the same clade as the type strains of the designated species according to phylogenetic analysis of the D1/D2 sequences. Moreover, we described the cell morphology and physiological characteristics of representative strains of each species. This study suggests that these six species are indigenous to Korea and can be accordingly listed in the NSLK.

Objective: This study aimed to determine the appropriate supplementation level of lactic acid bacteria (LAB; Lactobacillus plantarum and Bacillus clausii), yeast (Saccharomyces cariocanus and Wickerhamomyces anomalus) for degrading free gossypol and glucosinolate in the fermented total mixed ration (TMR) containing cottonseed meal (CSM) or rapeseed meal (RSM), to improve the utilization efficiency of these protein sources. Methods: For LAB, L. plantarum or B. clausii was inoculated at 1.0×10⁸, 1.0×10⁹, 1.0×10¹⁰, and 1.0×10¹¹ colony-forming unit (CFU)/kg dry matter (DM), respectively. For yeast, S. cariocanus or W. anomalus was inoculated at 5×10⁶, 5×10⁷, 5×10⁸, and 5×10⁹ CFU/kg DM, respectively. The TMR had 50% moisture and was incubated at 30℃ for 48 h. After fermentation, the chemical compositions, and the contents of free gossypol and glucosinolate were determined. Results: The results showed that the concentration of free gossypol content was reduced (p<0.05), while that of the crude protein content was increased (p<0.05) in the TMR containing CSM inoculated by B. clausii (1×10⁹ CFU/kg DM) or S. cariocanus (5×10⁹ CFU/kg DM). Similarly, the content of glucosinolate was lowered (p<0.05) and the crude protein content was increased (p<0.05) in TMR containing RSM inoculated with B. clausii (1×10¹⁰ CFU/kg DM) or S. cariocanus (5×10⁹ CFU/g DM). Conclusion: This study confirmed that inclusion of B. clausii with 1.0×10⁹ or 1.0×10¹⁰ CFU/kg DM, or S. cariocanus (5×10⁹ CFU/kg DM) to TMR containing CSM/RSM improved the nutritional value and decreased the contents of anti-nutritional factors.

Two typical microbial communities from Chinese rice wine fermentation collected in Yichang city and Suzhou city in China were investigated. Both communities could ferment glutinous rice to rice wine in 2 days. The sugar and ethanol contents were 198.67 and 14.47 mg/g, respectively, for rice wine from Yichang city, and 292.50 and 12.31 mg/g, respectively, for rice wine from Suzhou city. Acetic acid and lactic acid were the most abundant organic acids. Abundant fungi and bacteria were detected in both communities by high-throughput sequencing. Saccharomycopsis fibuligera and Rhizopus oryzae were the dominant fungi in rice wine from Suzhou city, compared with R. oryzae, Wickerhamomyces anomalus, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Mucor indicus, and Rhizopus microsporus in rice wine from Yichang city. Bacterial diversity was greater than fungal diversity in both communities. Citrobacter was the most abundant genus. Furthermore, Exiguobacterium, Aeromonas, Acinetobacter, Pseudomonas, Enterobacter, Bacillus, and Lactococcus were highly abundant in both communities.

Yeasts that are present in marine environments have evolved to survive hostile environments that are characterized by high exogenous salt content, high concentrations of inhibitory compounds, and low soluble carbon and nitrogen levels. Therefore, yeasts isolated from marine environments could have interesting characteristics for industrial applications. However, the application of marine yeast in research or industry is currently very limited owing to the lack of a suitable isolation method. Current methods for isolation suffer from fungal interference and/or low number of yeast isolates. In this paper, an efficient and non-laborious isolation method has been developed and successfully isolated large numbers of yeasts without bacterial or fungal growth. The new method includes a three-cycle enrichment step followed by an isolation step and a confirmation step. Using this method, 116 marine yeast strains were isolated from 14 marine samples collected in the UK, Egypt, and the USA. These strains were further evaluated for the utilization of fermentable sugars (glucose, xylose, mannitol, and galactose) using a phenotypic microarray assay. Seventeen strains with higher sugar utilization capacity than the reference terrestrial yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae NCYC 2592 were selected for identification by sequencing of the ITS and D1/D2 domains. These strains belonged to six species: S. cerevisiae, Candida tropicalis, Candida viswanathii, Wickerhamomyces anomalus, Candida glabrata, and Pichia kudriavzevii. The ability of these strains for improved sugar utilization using seawater-based media was confirmed and, therefore, they could potentially be utilized in fermentations using marine biomass in seawater media, particularly for the production of bioethanol and other biochemical products.
