“…Furthermore, 40% had a weak polygalacturonase activity, and 40% had a strong lipase activity. Other microorganisms did not exhibit such activity (Baffi et al, 2012). This property of G. geotrichum adds to the potential of this species for further industrial applications.…”

“…Other Interestingly, G. geotrichum was also isolated from olive paste and olive pomace, though it is not a dominant species there (Baffi et al, 2012). In a study by Baffi et al (2012), the activity of some enzymes produced by this strain was examined.…”

“…In a study by Baffi et al (2012), the activity of some enzymes produced by this strain was examined. It was found that all G. geotrichum strains had a moderate β-glucosidase activity, 80% of them also had a moderate carboxymethylcellulase activity, and 40% had a moderate polygalacturonase activity.…”

The article reviews the properties of the Galactomyces geotrichum species, the mould that is most important for the dairy industry. G. geotrichum mould has been isolated from milk, cheeses and alcoholic beverage. Its presence in food products makes it possible to obtain a characteristic aroma and taste, which corresponds to the needs and preferences of consumers. G. geotrichum plays an important role in ecology, where the mould is employed for the degradation of various hazardous substances and wastewater treatment. It has also been found to have potential for biofuel production. In addition to this, G. geotrichum can be applicable in two further major areas: agriculture and health protection.

“…crustosum has been found commonly in food, feed, and plants (28)(29)(30); has a wide range of biological functions; and possesses multienzyme systems with significant region selectivity and stereoselectivity (13,31), which have already been used to biotransform natural products (32,33), chemicals (12,34,35), and endogenous materials (13) to change their structures and bioactivities.…”

To test the metabolic mechanism, the ␤-glucosidase activity of the fungus P. crustosum 2T01Y01 was assayed with -nitrophenyl-␤-D-glucopyranoside as a probe substrate, and the pathway of GPS biotransformation by strain 2T01Y01 is proposed. In addition, the hepatoprotective activities of GPS and metabolite compounds 2, 5, and 6 against human hepatocyte line HL-7702 injury induced by hydrogen peroxide were evaluated.

“…For example, 42% of the total isolates from olive trees were Alternaria, Penicillium and Fusarium were identified from olive trees in Portugal and the 42% of the total isolates was reported as Alternaria (Oliveira et al, 2012). Baffi et al (2012) reported that Aspergillus and Penicillium species were major fungal genera in olive ecosystems such as olive fruits, olive pomace and olive paste. Al-Ameri et al, (2015) has isolated A. niger (13% sample frequency) from olive fruit rot.…”

In this study, molecular markers were used to determine fungal flora in black olive fruits from field surveys to the table, following the fermentation process. Field samples were collected from different locations of Canakkale province, including Gokceada (Imbros), where organic farming is employed. Some of the fruits from field samples were used for black table olive production and then fungal flora was tracked during the fermentation process. Fungal isolation was also conducted on some commercial samples. Fifty seven isolates from field samples, 56 isolates from the fermentation process and 17 isolates from commercial products were obtained. Among these isolates, 41 Alternaria, 43 Penicillium, 19 Aspergillus, 8 Monascus and 19 other genera were determined using amplified sizes of the Beta-tubulin gene region. Species level identification was carried out based on sequences of Beta-tubulin amplicons, which provided accurate identification, especially where the genera were morphologically highly similar. The occurrence and prevalence of fungal species changed in fungal collections from the field to the fermentation process. While Alternaria alternata was common in field samples, they were absent during fermentation. Many of these identified species, such as Penicillium expansum, Aspergillus niger and Monascus pilosus, which are known as potential toxin producers such as aflatoxin, ochratoxin A and citrinin, were found both in natural and fermented samples, even at the end of the fermentation process. These results showed that some fungal species which survive on olives from the field to the table are potential toxin producers and can be successfully characterized by amplification and sequencing of Beta-tubulin gene.
