Wickerhamiella nakhonpathomensis f.a. sp. nov., a novel ascomycetous yeast species isolated from a mushroom and a flower in Thailand

Pannida Khunnamwong et al.

Summary: Two novel anamorphic yeast strains were isolated from a fruiting body of a Coprinus species and an inflorescence of a Coffea species collected in Thailand. They were identified as a new species, Wickerhamiella nakhonpathomensis, based on genetic analysis.

Crystal structure of fungal tannase from Aspergillus niger

Liangbo Dong et al.

Summary: Tannases are serine esterases found in fungi, catalyzing the hydrolysis of gallotannins to release gallic acid. Despite limited knowledge at the molecular level, various tannases have been isolated from fungal strains to search for desired enzymatic properties. The first crystal structure of a fungal tannase from Aspergillus niger reveals highly conserved residues involved in gallic acid binding and catalytic activities.

Microbial dynamics-linked properties and functional metabolites during Miang fermentation using the filamentous fungi growth-based process

Pratthana Kodchasee et al.

Summary: The microbial community in Miang, an ethnic fermented tea from northern Thailand using Camellia sinensis var. assamica, was studied during a 10-day filamentous fungi growth-based process. The study found that filamentous fungi, yeast, and lactic acid bacteria were the main microbial populations, with Aspergillus niger being the predominant fungus. Organic acids and bioactive compounds identified in Miang were found to impact the quality of the tea.

Comparison of Phenolic Contents and Scavenging Activities of Miang Extracts Derived from Filamentous and Non-Filamentous Fungi-Based Fermentation Processes

Aliyu Dantani Abdullahi et al.

Summary: The study found that Miang extracts fermented by non-filamentous fungi-based and filamentous fungi-based processes had higher phenolic contents and better antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities compared to young and mature tea leaves. These fermented Miang extracts showed enhanced protection against hydrogen peroxide-induced ROS production in colorectal cells and inhibition of nitric oxide production induced by lipopolysaccharide, indicating their potential as natural bioactive functional ingredients for preventing free radical and inflammatory-mediated diseases.

Acid Stable Yeast Cell-Associated Tannase with High Capability in Gallated Catechin Biotransformation

Nalapat Leangnim et al.

Summary: In this study, four tannase-producing yeasts were characterized, showing similarities in production yield, pH and temperature optima, stability, and substrate specificity. One of them exhibited acid-stable characteristics. All CATs demonstrated high substrate specificity towards epigallocatechin gallate and epicatechin gallate, and operational stability for repeated use in multiple cycles. These CATs could be useful for the extraction and biotransformation of tea catechins and related applications.
