Character and Application of Killer Yeast

Abstract

Abstract: The killer toxin produced by killer yeast can inhibit and kill the sensitive yeast strain, and the killer yeasts have immunity to the killer toxin produced by themself. When the killer yeasts are used in industrial production, they can clean up environment and improve the quality of productions. Some marine killer yeast may use in marine aquaculture to against the infection of the marine pathogenic yeast. In addition, the killer toxin produced by killer yeast can be a potential antifungal agent to against infection of pathogenic yeast. This composition discusses the variety, mechanism of action, applications, and research advancement of killer yeast.

Key words: Killer yeast, Killer toxin, Mechanism of function, Application
