Most of the 54 strains that had accumulated a detectable amount of glucosylceramide were identified as Kluyveromyces lactis var. lactis. The cells of K. lactis var. lactis strain M-11 derived from domestic raw milk accumulated glucosylceramide 2.5-fold higher than K. lactis var. lactis NBRC 1267, the reference strain selected from the culture collections. Strain M-16 of K. lactis var. lactis derived from the same origin was found to synthesize a considerable amount of steryl glucoside in addition to glucosylceramide. Sequence analysis of ribosomal DNA intergenic spacer two regions revealed that strains M-11 and M-16 were diverged from a type strain of K. lactis var. lactis in the same species.}, pages = {3643--3646}, title = {Selection of lactic yeast producing glucosylceramide from cheese whey}, volume = {98}, year = {2007} }
