Effects of Chitosan as a Permeabilizing Agent in Different Yeast Species. Studying Enzymes in situ.

This study examines chitosan's permeabilizing effects on three yeast species, showing strain-dependent antifungal activity and its utility for in situ enzyme activity measurement.

Transcriptomic profiling of Debaryomyces hansenii reveals detoxification and stress responses to benzo(a)pyrene exposure

This paper shows that Debaryomyces hansenii detoxifies benzo(a)pyrene under nutrient-deprived conditions, with RNA-Seq revealing 1179 upregulated and 1031 downregulated genes, and highlights xenobiotic degradation pathways and antioxidant responses.

Benzo(a)pyrene degradation induces coordinated antioxidant and detoxification responses in the marine yeast Debaryomyces hansenii

This study shows that Debaryomyces hansenii can degrade benzo(a)pyrene and activate antioxidant defenses to counteract its toxicity.
