In terms of amino acids bacterial protein is similar to fish protein. The yeast s protein is almost identical to soya protein fungal protein is lower than yeast protein. In addition, SCP is deficient in amino acids with a sulphur bridge, such as cystine, cysteine and methionine. SCP as a food may require supplements of cysteine and methionine whereas they have high levels of lysine vitamins and other amino acids. The vitamins of microorganisms are primarily of the B type. Vitamin B12 occurs mostly hi bacteria, whereas algae are usually rich in vitamin A. The most common vitamins in SCP are thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, pyridoxine, pantothenic acid, choline, folic acid, inositol, biotin, B12 and P-aminobenzoic acid. Table 14.4 shows the essential amino acid analysis of SCP compared with several sources of protein.

Among various methods reported, we wish to describe an assay technique with Saccharomyces carlsbergensis 4228. This yeast had been used by Atkin et al. (All) for the determination of vitamin B6. We have omitted inositol from the medium and have added an excess of pyridoxine (S19). The composition of the medium is given in Table 8. The method has an accuracy of 0.1 mpg/ml. 

About 10-20% of all transmembrane proteins that are targeted to the ER and subsequently enter the secretory pathway are subject to post-translational modification with glycosylphosphatidyl-inositol (GPI). Proteins bearing the GPI anchor are involved in signal transduction, immune response, cancer cell invasion, and metastasis and the pathobiology of trypanosomal parasites. The structure of the GPI anchor has been analyzed for mammals, protozoa, and yeast. The general structure of the glycolipid structure is shown in Scheme 4. 

Historically choline, inositol and carnitine have been considered to be part of the vitamin B complex. However, for the general population there has been no demonstration of a dietary need for these agents and also for none of them has there been a therapeutic role established. Vitamins of the B family are found in many food ingredients like in yeast, in meat, in dairy products and also in eggs and grain cereals and separate vitamin B deficiencies are unlikely to occur. Excessive intake of these vitamins is eliminated in the urine because of the fact that they are water-soluble. 

Vitamins are required for satisfactory development or function of most yeasts. Wickerham (177) devised a complete yeast medium which included eight vitamins biotin, pantothenic acid, inositol, niacin, p-aminobenzoic acid, pyridoxine, thiamine, and riboflavin. The concentrations of these growth factors varied widely with inositol in the greatest concentration and biotin in trace amounts. Many of these vitamins are considered major growth factors for yeast multiplication and development, as noted in several studies and reviews (178, 179, 180, 181, 182). Generally, the benefit of adding vitamins to musts and wines has not been established as a normal winery practice. This lack of response is because vitamins occur naturally in sufficient quantities in grapes and are produced by yeasts themselves (3). 

Food yeast, molasses-grown, is dried to about 5% moisture and has the same chemical composition as bakers yeast. In terms of micrograms per gram of yeast, the vitamin content is 165 thiamine 100 riboflavin 590 niacin 20 pyridoxine 13 folacin 100 pantothenic acid 0.6 biotin 160 para-ainiiiobeuzoie acid 2710 choline and 3000 inositol. YeasL crude protein contains 80% amino acids 12% nucleic acids and 8% ammonia. The latter components lower the true protein content to 40% of the dry cell weight. 

The desugaring of cane juice concentrates the heat- and alkali-stable vitamins in the final molasses. Even after this accumulation, only myo-inositol may have reached the level of minimum dietary requirements.109 Niacin, pantothenic acid and riboflavin are also present in significant quantities109 the thiamine, pyridoxin, pantothenic acid, biotin and folic acid contents of molasses have been estimated by bioassay.110 111 The biotin content of Hawaiian and Cuban molasses was 2.1 and 1.7 gammas per gram, respectively.119 The antistiffness factor (closely related to stigmasterol) has been found in cane molasses.88 89 The distillery slop from the yeast fermentation of molasses is marketed as a vitamin concentrate this product also contains vitamins originating in the yeast. 

Organic supplements Small amount of vitamins (myo-inositol, thiamine, nicotinic acid, pyridoxine, and so on.), amino acids (usually omitted but sometimes used with advantage), and other undefined supplements (meat, malt, and yeast extract, and protein hydrolysates, and so on.). 

Prior to 1941, mj/o-inositol was often determined by isolation, as such or as the hexaacetate.87 The isolated inositol was weighed, or was oxidized to carbon dioxide (which was measured in a gas buret).92 In 1941, Woolley98 published his microbiological method, in which the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae was used as a test organism. Soon afterward, there appeared an improved procedure, using Saccharomyces carlsbergensis,9i 96 and an additional method based on the discovery of an inositol-less mutant of the common bread-mold, Neurospora crassa.96-98 Plundreds of types of foods,... 

The biosynthesis of myo-inositol in a yeast (Torulopsis utilis) has been studied with formate-C14, acetate-2-Cu, formaldehyde-C14, and D-glucose (variously labeled).136 The small molecules are the best precursors for inositol, and, indeed, it appears that, when the cyclitol is formed from D-glucose, the sugar is fragmented before incorporation, instead of being cyclized directly. 

Traditionally, the production of mAbs uses complex culture media containing glucose and amino acids as the main sources of carbon for cell metabolism, as well as vitamins, micronutrients and sometimes animal serum, usually fetal bovine serum. Chapter 5 provides a discussion on composition of culture media and recent trends in the search for formulas that do not require the use of animal serum, or of proteins of animal origin. These serum-free formulations use substitutes such as peptones, epithelial and fibroblast growth factors, hydrolysates, yeast extract, choline, and inositol. For the production of mAbs, various serum-free formulas are available, some of these developed specifically for a given cell line (Chu and Robinson, 2001). The development of those media is easier for non-anchorage-dependent cells, such as those used for mAb production. Thus, approximately 50% of the antibodies for therapeutic use are already produced using serum-free media. In some circumstances, the elimination of serum should be accompanied by the addition of other substances with the same shear stress protective effect of serum proteins,...
