Candida blankii is a species of budding yeast (Saccharomycotina) in the family Saccharomycetaceae.[3][4][5] The yeast may be a therapeutically dangerous pathogen and resistant to treatment in human hosts. Research on the fungi has therapeutic, medical and industrial implications.

Taxonomy

Candida blankii was discovered in the 1960s, after the analysis of the organs of infected mink in Canada by F. Blank. These mink were infected with the unknown yeast, and all died from mycosis.[6][7][8] It was described in 1968 by H. R. Buckley and N. van Uden, who named it in honour of Blank.[6][6] The description was published in the journal Mycopathologia et Mycologia Applicata, along with descriptions of four other new species.[7]

Identification

On Sabouraud dextrose agar, C. blankii isolates present as typical yeast, i.e., cream-colored colonies, which then tend toward pink and later dark blue. Blood sample DNA Sequencing of the 26S ribosomal subunit can definitively identify C. blankii.[3]

Ecology

In nature, Candida blankii forms symbiotic relationships with other organisms. An Indian study of seven bee species and 9 plant species found 45 yeast species from 16 genera colonise the nectaries of flowers and honey stomachs of bees. Most were members of the genus Candida; the most common species in honey bee stomachs was Dekkera intermedia, while the most common species colonising flower nectaries was Candida blankii. Although the mechanics are not fully understood, it was found that Azadirachta indica flowers more if C. blankii are present.[8]

Human pathology

{{Main article|Yeast#Pathogenic yeasts}}

A few human infections of Candida blankii have been found. Their existence suggests that the condition may have been under-reported.[3] In 2015, the yeast was found in the airways of a patient with cystic fibrosis; this was the first recorded case of Candida blankii infection in humans.[9] A second case was reported in 2018. The fungus proved resistant to treatment with antifungals. The yeast was characterized as "an opportunist pathogen for lung transplant and/or CF patients".[3] Because of its resistance, it was said to warrant further study.[3][10] Different strains, it was suggested, should also be studied "to increase knowledge of genetic diversity and antifungal susceptibility profile".[3]

Fungal blood-stream infections (fungaemia) have been newly associated with C blankii.[10] Polyene antifungals have been identified as a possible treatment.[3]

The species has been detected in meat intended for human consumption, including Iberian ham.[11]

Biotechnology

{{Main article|Yeast#Industrial ethanol production|Bioethanol|Zymology}}

Like many yeasts, Candida blankii has been the subject of various biotechnological studies,[12][13] including for use as a BOD biosensor.[14][15] The metabolic process of Candida blankii is aerobic. Consequently, it oxidizes many forms of alcohol, amino acid, carbohydrates, and other organic compounds. As a BOD biosensor, practical applications may be limited due to short term effectiveness.{{efn-ua|It has been tested as a water quality indicator as compared to a pair of other Candida species. Its growth phase (hours 14 through 38) and lag phase (hours 0 through 14) were exceptional. However, maximum oxidative activity is typically about 18 hours throughout its lifespan, and biosensor activity declines by half in a little over a week.[15]}}

A diploid isolate of Candida blankii had an observed "potential for use in single cell protein production from hemicellulose hydrolysates", which is related to Cellulosic ethanol.[16]{{clarification needed|date=April 2019}}

This yeast is one of several studied extensively for use in Xylose fermentation.[17][18]

C. blankii has been tested as an aid for the degradation of Hemicellulose hydrolycates.[19] Candida blankii "cultivated on a mixture of n-paraffins (6% vol/vol) has been shown to produce fumaric acid", which could be important, once the process is worked out.[20][21]{{clarification needed|date=April 2019}}
