RefSeq genome sequence from ex-type culture. Killer yeasts are being used to control contaminating wild-type yeasts in the winemaking and fermentation industries, to control pathogenic fungi in plants, and to develop novel antifungal agents for the treatment of human and animal fungal infections.
T. phaffii secretes a glycoprotein known as the
More...killer toxin Kpkt that is lethal to spoilage yeasts under winemaking conditions. The toxin is a highly specific beta-1,3-glucanase that disrupts the integrity of the yeast cell wall. Less...
