Morphological changes during the life cycle ofAureobasidium pullulans (de Bary) Arnaud

Abstract

Aureobasidium pullulans (de Bary) Arnaud was isolated from different natural materials plant blossoms in particular. Elements of vegetative multiplication, structure of colonies and cultures in liquid media were analyzed in detail, leading to construction of the life cycle of this organism. Morphological polymorphism was found to be combined with the production of melanin and the polysaccharide pullulan. Morphological analysis served for a directed selection for studies of physiological properties of this organism and its practical application.

Yeasts and yeast-like organisms from North Korea.

“…Classification of a strain isolated from a plant material from the coast of the China sea agreed with our description of A. pullulans (de Barry) Arnaud (9,16). It was a ubiquitous organism producing melanin and the extracellular polysaccharide pullulan.…”

Phenotypic plasticity in fungi: a review with observations onAureobasidium pullulans

“…They diagram and describe diverse colors, varied margins, sectored growth, concentric growth stages and developmental patterns, all similar to what we find in our study. A diversity of other investigations on the role of carbon and nitrogen compounds in artificial medium demonstrates pronounced affects on the YM transition (Kocková-Kratochvílová andHronská 1981, Pasquier-Clouet andZucca 1987). In some cases the compounds (e.g.…”

“…the YM growth transition) have reported the following interesting features. Kocková-Kratochvílová et al (1980) illustrate the multiple growth forms of giant colonies that develop for A. pullulans. They diagram and describe diverse colors, varied margins, sectored growth, concentric growth stages and developmental patterns, all similar to what we find in our study.…”

Oil type and cross‐linking influence growth of Aureobasidium melanogenum on vegetable oils as a single carbon source

“…Aureobasidium melanogenum has both a yeast-like and a hyphal growth mode. Furthermore, it can form chlamydospores-big cells with a typical dark color due to production of melanin (Kocková-Kratochvílová et al, 1980;Zalar et al, 2008).…”
