| chemical and enzymic analyses of pichia polymorpha cell walls. | conventional techniques of chemical analysis have shown that the cell walls of the yeast pichia polymorpha, at early stationary growth phase, consisted of carbohydrate (about 85%), protein (8%), and lipid (7%). glucose and mannose were the only neutral sugars and glucosamine the sole amino sugar present among the cell wall components. paper and gas-liquid chromatographies of acid hydrolysates of purified cell walls and cell wall fractions proved that mannan and alkali-insoluble glucans, in that ... | 1980 | 7407703 |
| hydrocarbon emulsification by candida tropicalis and debaryomyces polymorphus. | potentiality of c. tropicalis and d. polymorphus, to produce surface active compounds (bioemulsifiers/biosurfactants) during shake cultivation on hexadecane and oily waste was studied. better emulsification activity, specific towards aromatic hydrocarbons, was observed with c. tropicalis culture broth. emulsification activity of culture broth was quite stable and was unaffected by change in ph and by increasing the concentration of nacl up to 5%. the activity was marginally affected by heating i ... | 1989 | 2606530 |
| fluid-phase endocytosis in yeasts other than saccharomyces cerevisiae. | a fitc-dextran internalization assay with saccharomyces cerevisiae as positive control was used to determine whether fluid-phase endocytosis is a general characteristic of yeasts. schizosaccharomyces pombe, pichia polymorpha, kluyveromyces phaseolosporus, yarrowia lipolytica and candida albicans were clearly positive, whereas results obtained with debaryomyces marama were inconclusive. in all cases internalized fitc-dextran was found to be localized in the vacuoles and the process was always tim ... | 1990 | 1696233 |
| synthesis of beta-glucanase and other extracellular proteins by cells and protoplasts of the yeast pichia polymorpha: effect of 2-deoxy-d-glucose. | the synthesis of beta-glucanase either by cells or by protoplasts of the yeast pichia polymorpha has been found to occur in the presence of 2-deoxy-d-glucose in the growth medium. on the other hand, the synthesis of typical extracellular proteins such as invertase and acid phosphatase is strongly affected by the presence of the drug. the degree of inhibition is, however, directly related to the 2-deoxy-d-glucose concentration. | 1975 | 1190960 |
| beta-glucanases of the yeast pichia polymorpha. | fractionation of proteins secreted into the culture medium by intact cells and protoplasts of pichia polymorpha showing enzyme activity against laminarin, pustulan or p-nitrophenyl-beta-d-glucopyranoside has been performed, and the results compared with those obtained with cell-free extracts and lysed protoplasts. fractionation with deae sephadex a50 has proved to be the best method, yielding at least three fractions which hydrolyse laminarin. one of these fractions was active on both laminarin ... | 1975 | 1156103 |
| on the effect of glucono-delta-lactone on the yeast pichia polymorpha. | investigation has been made into the action of glucono-delta-lactone on living cells of pichia polymorpha in relation to the uptake of d-(u-14c)glucose, and the incorporation of (2-14c) uracil and l-(u-14c) threonine into rna and protein respectively. other factors such as the action of glucono-delta-lactone on cell morphology and on enzymic synthesis have also been studied. the action of this compound on beta-glucanase has been found to take place in the hydrolytic power and not in the synthesi ... | 1976 | 962468 |
