Yeasts affiliated with the Metschnikowia pulcherrima clade (subclade) of the large
ascomycetous genus Metschnikowia frequently turn out to produce the characteristic …

This study set out to isolate and identify epiphytic yeasts producing pulcherrimin, and to
evaluate their potential as biological control agents (BCAs). We isolated Metschnikowia sp …

Metschnikowia pulcherrima synthesises the pigment pulcherrimin, from cyclodileucine (cyclo
(Leu‐Leu)) as a precursor, and exhibits strong antifungal activity against notorious plant …

Aims In the present study, it was investigated the antagonistic behaviour of Metschnikowia
pulcherrima, as biocontrol agent, against the main wine yeast species involved in the …

Pulcherrimin is a secondary metabolite of yeasts belonging to the Metschnikowia
pulcherrima clade, and pulcherrimin formation is responsible for the antimicrobial action of …

Over the last decade, several non-Saccharomyces species have been used as an
alternative yeast for producing wines with sensorial properties that are distinctive in …

The purpose of this review is to introduce Metschnikowia to the yeast researcher community
and to convince readers that the genus is a worthwhile object of study in developmental …

A survey of epiphytic yeasts on leaves of selected Mediterranean plant species collected at
the 'Arrábida Natural Park'(Portugal) yielded about 850 isolates, mostly of basidiomycetous …

Meyerozyma guilliermondii is a yeast species widely isolated from several natural
environments and from fruit; in medical microbiology it is known as the teleomorph of the …

Three molecular methods, RAPD-PCR analysis, electrophoretic karyotyping and RFLP of
the PCR-amplified ITS regions (ITS1, ITS2 and the intervening 5.8 S rDNA), were studied for …
