Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Cycloheximide (CYH) is a heterocyclic, glutarimide antibiotic that is a potent inhibitor of protein biosynthesis in most eukaryotes. This study demonstrated that yeasts from all species of the Lipomycetaceae, with the exception of Dipodascopsis spp., can grow in the presence of up to 5 g.L(-1) CYH -- a concentration that is five times higher than the accepted "highest" concentration of 1 g.L(-1) used in physiological tests for yeast identification. Lipomycetaceous yeasts are known to utilize heterocyclic nitrogen-containing compounds such as thymine as sole nitrogen source. CYH contains a glutarimide ring, which is chemically similar to thymine. We investigated the possibility that CYH resistance in the Lipomycetaceae might be due to an ability to degrade CYH and use it as the sole nitrogen source. However, we were unable to demonstrate significant growth on CYH as sole nitrogen source. When thymine was used as positive control, we could demonstrate its utilization as sole nitrogen source.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
