Saccharomyces cereviseae

Materials. Microspherical PGG glucan (Adjuvax, Alpha-Beta Technology, Worcester, MA) was prepared from Saccharomyces cereviseae strain R4 cells (11). Zymosan, cytochrome c (cyt c), bovine serum albumin (BSA), yeast alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), Complete Freunds Adjuvant (CFA) and Incomplete Freunds Adjuvant (IFA) were purchased from Sigma Chemical Co. (St. Louis, MO). 

Baker s yeast (Saccharomyces cereviseae NRC 2335) was first used by Buist and Marecak43 in the enantioselective oxidation of fatty acid analogues with 70% ee. A later work by Roberts and co-workers,44 using S. cereviseae NCYC 73, succeeded... 

Part of the mannoprotein structure, as found in the yeast Saccharomyces cereviseae [80] contains a series of unbranched oligosaccharide chains of degree of polymerisation (d.p.) 1-5, with a(l-2) and a(l-3) linked Man residues, that are a-glycosidically linked to the OH of serine or threonine in the polypeptide, and which can be released by base catalysed P-elimination. Methods of determination of structures of oligosaccharides have included n.m.r. and mass spectrometry, deacylation with hydrazine, sequential glycosidase hydrolysis, partial enzymic and acidic hydrolysis and acetolysis, poiarimetry and methylation analysis. 

The a-mannan of the yeast Saccharomyces cereviseae and mutants have been extensively studied [69, 80, 84-87, 88, 97-100,105,124]. 

Anotho- p-glucan from yeast Saccharomyces cereviseae) is recognized for its ability to activate nonspecific immune response [104-106].
