Resumo

A atividade killer de leveduras tem sido observada em mais de 90 espécies e diversas toxinas killer (micocinas) produzidas por linhagens pertencentes a diversos gêneros têm sido extensivamente estudadas. Muitos estudos têm destacado as aplicações biotecnológicas do fenômeno killer: (i) controle de leveduras contaminantes de processos fermentativos; (ii) taxonomia e biotipagem de leveduras de interesse clínico e industrial; e (iii) aplicações biomédicas como novos agentes antimicóticos. Este trabalho de revisão aborda as potenciais aplicações do sistema killer de leveduras com base em estudos até o momento realizados, demonstrando o potencial biotecnológico dessas leveduras.
