Popis: | Several yeasts were isolated from flowers found in Gyonggi-do Province and Jeju island in Korea. They were then identified by a comparison of their PCR-amplified D1/D2 regions of 26S rDNA, internal transcribed spacer 1 and 2 inclusive of 5.8S rDNA, using the BLAST database. A total of fifty four yeast strains were isolated from wild flowers in Gyonggi-do and the genus Pseudozyma was noted as being dominant. A total of thirty two strains were isolated from Songaksan and Seongsan-ilchulbong in Jeju island and Sporobolomyces ruberrimus was seen to be dominant. The anti-gout xanthine oxidase inhibitory activities of the culture broths and cell-free extracts from eighty six yeast strains were then determined. The cell-free extracts of Pseudozyma hubeiensis 228-S-1 exhibited the highest xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity of 19.6%. The XOD inhibitor was also maximally produced when Pseudozyma hubeiensis 228-S-1 was cultured at for 36h in YEPD medium. |
