Mathematical Modeling and Disease Related Applications: A New Method of Estimating Bacterial Mutation Rates, Dynamics of Killer Yeast in a Chemostat, and Other Problems
… <p>In chapter 3, a competition model of killer and non-killer yeast is used to predict the outcome of competition in a continuous culture under nutrient limitation (e.g. a chemostat). This research explores possible detrimental effect on fitness when yeast harbor the killer virus under …

Killer yeasts as antifungal biocontrol agents
The ability of killer yeast to inhibit the growth of fungi, specifically wood decay fungi, has been investigated. An initial broad screen of 17 yeast versus 17 fungi demonstrated that killer yeast can and do exhibit antagonistic as well as growth stimulatory affects on fungi. Yeast from the …

Anti-<i>Candida a</i>ctivity of killer toxins from the yeast <i>Williopsis mrakii</i>
Killer yeasts secrete toxins which are lethal or inhibitory to sensitive yeasts but to which they themselves are immune. <i>Williopsis mrakii</i> is a killer yeast but very little is known about the physiology of the organism and the characteristics of its toxin. This research was concerned with an …
