    Monolayers assembled from a glycolipid biosurfactant from Pseudozyma (Candida) antarctica serve as a high-affinity ligand system for immunoglobulin G and M

    A carbohydrate ligand system has been developed which is composed of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of mannosylerythritol lipid-A (MEL-A) from Pseudozyma antarctica, serving for human immunoglobulin G and M (HI...

    Microbial conversion of n-alkanes into glycolipid biosurfactants, mannosylerythritol lipids, by Pseudozyma (Candida antarctica)

    n-Alkanes ranging from C12 to C18 were converted into glycolipid biosurfactants, mannosylerythritol lipids (MEL), by resting cells of Pseudozyma (Candida) antarctica T-34. The highest yield (0.87 g g−1 substrate...

    Mannosylerythritol lipid, a yeast extracellular glycolipid, shows high binding affinity towards human immunoglobulin G

    There have been many attempts to develop new materials with stability and high affinity towards immunoglobulins. Some of glycolipids such as gangliosides exhibit a high affinity toward immunoglobulins. However...

    Contribution of a chain-shortening pathway to the biosynthesis of the fatty acids of mannosylerythritol lipid (biosurfactant) in the yeast Candida antarctica: Effect of β-oxidation inhibitors on biosurfactant synthesis

    Inhibitors of β-oxidation on the synthesis of glycolipid biosurfactant, mannosylerythritol lipid (MEL), were used to clarify the fatty acid metabolism of MEL in Candida antarctica. 2-Bromooctanoic acid drastic...

    Effect of cerulenin on the production of mannosyl-erythritol lipids as biosurfactants by Candida antarctica

    The effect of cerulenin, anti-lipogenic antibiotic, on the production and fatty-acid profiles of biosurfactants (mannosyl-erythritol lipids) of Candida antarctica were investigated by changing the chain-length of...

    Production of mannosylerythritol lipids as biosurfactants by resting cells ofCandida antarctica

    The resting cells ofCandida antarctica strain T-34 was found to produce a large amount of mannosylerythritol lipids as biosurfactants when incubated in the medium containing only the carbon source. The resting ce...
