Tóm tắt

In the yeast Dipodascus magnusii, which is auxotrophic for thiamine and biotin, during cultivation on glucose with excessive thiamine concentration, pyruvate metabolism was shown to result in the synthesis of fermentation products, namely, ethanol and, to a lesser extent, lactate. Substantial synthesis of ethyl acetate was also observed under these conditions. Introduction of nicotinic acid (NA) into the medium resulted in time separation of ethanol and lactate production. It was shown that cultivation of the yeast under biotin deficiency resulted in nearly complete suppression of aerobic production of ethanol and cessation of ethyl acetate synthesis, whereas lactate synthesis was activated as early as in the first hours of cultivation. Upon introduction of NA under these conditions, lactate concentration sharply increased. These results show that the combination of thiamine and biotin with other vitamins can stimulate utilization of the pyruvate pool in yeasts towards formation of considerable amounts of lactate, which is typical only of cells of higher eukaryotes and bacteria.
