Abstract: The yeast Pseudozyma antarctica secretes a concentrated biodegradable plastic (BP)-degrading enzyme when cultivated with xylose. Treatment with the culture filtrate reduced the puncture strength of commercial BP mulch films. After burying the film in soil,… read more here.

Abstract: The basidiomycetous yeast Pseudozyma antarctica (currently designated Moesziomyces antarcticus) produces extracellular enzymes and glycolipids, including mannosylerythritol lipids (MELs), which are biosurfactants. Strain GB-4(0) of this species was previously isolated from rice husks and produces biodegradable… read more here.

Abstract: The yeast Pseudozyma antarctica (currently designated Moesziomyces antarcticus) secretes a xylose-induced biodegradable plastic-degrading enzyme (PaE). To suppress degradation of PaE during production and storage, we targeted the inhibition of proteolytic enzyme activity in P. antarctica.… read more here.
