Addition yeast

Lactose-fermenting yeasts have been known for some time, but their use to produce ethyl alcohol and yeast from whey received serious attention only much later. Certain Torula species yield more alcohol than might have been expected from statements in the literature. Four kefir yeasts, two Torula species, one of Torulopsis and one additional yeast species, produced alcohol yielding 68 to 80% of the theoretical quantity. A maximal yield, 80.3%, based on a theoretical yield of 4 moles of alcohol per mole of lactose fermented, was obtained with a strain of Torula cremoris in a 21.7-hr fermentation at 30 to 32°C (Marth 1974). 

The rather toxic methylglyoxal is formed in many organisms and within human tissues.174 It arises in part as a side reaction of triose phosphate isomerase (Eq. 13-28) and also from oxidation of acetone (Eq. 17-7) or aminoacetone, a metabolite of threonine (Chapter 24).175 In addition, yeast and some bacteria, including E. coli, have a methylglyoxal synthase that converts dihydroxyacetone to methylglyoxal, apparently using a mechanism similar to that of triose phosphate isomerase. It presumably forms enediolate 2 of Eq. 13-26, which eliminates inorganic phosphate to yield methyl-... 

The fermentation usually is complete within 30 or 40 days. During this period additional anthocyanins are extracted from pomace and the color stabilizes due to polymerization between the anthocyanins and tannins. Winemakers call this process pomace "maturation". Moreover, due to the increasing alcohol concentration, many other metabolites are extracted from the pomace. In addition, yeast metabolites contribute to the aromatic complexity of the wine.

Isolation of the immunophilin cDNAs has rendered possible the production and the structure-function study of these proteins by site-directed mutagenesis. In addition, yeast strains have been constructed where the endogenous ligands for CsA and FK506 have been replaced with their human counterparts. Such strains provide convenient assay systems for the stracture-activity studies of putative immunosuppressants (Koltin et al, 1991). The advances in immunosuppression are yet another salient example of the contributions of molecular biology to drug design and development.

Sporothrix schenckii may be confused in tissue sections with Blastomyces dermatitidis and fungal agents of phaeohyphomycosis. In addition, yeast cells of Sporothrix schenckii may be sparsely present in tissues. Antibodies against yeast cells of S. schenckii are sensitive but demonstrate cross-reactivity with Candida species however, after specific adsorption of the antibody with Candida yeast cells, the cross-reactivity of the antibodies is eliminated.

Under aerobic conditions yeast may also use glycerol, ethanol and lactic acid which are themselves the products of anaerobic (fermentative) growth. Similarly the organic acids acetic, citric and malic are also metabolized by some species. Other compounds, generated by cellular metabolism, which appear in the medium and may be subsequently taken up by the cells, include pyruvic acid and acetaldehyde. In addition yeast cells may fix carbon dioxide to provide up to 5 % of their carbon requirement [4]. 

For use specifically as a food additive, yeast is dried and powdered the processing kills the cells. In addition to providing a source of vitamins this material forms an ideal carrier for food flavouring materials, e.g. on potato crisps. 

Table I shows that arfaptin 2 interacted with only dominant active forms of Arfl and 5 by yeast two-hybrid assay. We could not determine interaction between Arf6 and arfaptin 2 by this assay because Arf6-Q67L fused with GAIA DNA binding domain was autoactivating. In addition, yeast did not express Arf6-Q67L fused with the GAIA activating domain.

Additional yeast spoilage is induced by species of the genera Candida Mycoderma), Pischia and Hansenula (Willia). Other microorganisms are involved in the formation of viscous, moldy and ropy wine flavor defects. Bacterial spoilage may involve acetic acid and lactic acid bacteria. In this case vinegar or lactic acid souring is detectable. It has usually been associated with mannitol fermentation which may result in considerable amounts of mannitol. 

In white winemaking, suspended solids activate fermentation (Section 3.7.3). Certain constituents, probably sterols and fatty acids, are involved in this phenomenon (Ribereau-Gayon et al., 1975b). Although these substances are not very soluble, yeasts are capable of using them to improve fermentation kinetics. They probably act in conjunction with other factors, such as oxygenation and possibly nitrogen additions. Yeast hulls have a similar effect independent of their ability to eliminate inhibition (Section 3.6.2). 

In addition yeast cell walls, obtained by separating the soluble yeast extract from the insoluble cell wall after autolysis, detoxify the medium by absorbing the toxic fatty acids. They are added to wine for the promotion of MLF (Lafon-Lafourcade et al. 1983).
