Schizo saccharomyces

Studies in yeasts (Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Schizo-saccharomyces pombe), slime mould (,Dictyostelium discoideum), worm (Caenorhabditis elegans), fly (Drosophila melanogaster) and mammalian systems have all contributed to our understanding of TOR signalling. 

In addition to malo-lactic fermentation, another biological method for deacidification of high-acid must is to use malic acid-metabolizing Schizo-saccharomyces yeast for the alcoholic fermentation. Benda and Schmidt (33) have selected strains of these yeasts which produce wines with no off-flavors. In using some of these same strains we have also been able to make wines of sound character (18).

The coenzyme Q of the Hemiascomycetes contain a variable number of isoprene units ranging from Q-5 to Q-9 (Q-10 was found in Lipomyces lipofer). On the other hand, most strains of the Protomyces/Schizosaccharomyces clade analyzed so far contain coenzyme Q-10 (with the exception of Schizo-saccharomyces octosponis, which has Q-9), resembling the Euascomycetes, which, in most cases contain coenzyme Q-10 and Q-10 (H2). Coenzyme Q-9 was found only rarely in some euascomycetous strains (e.g. Capronia parasitica, Symbiotaphrina spp.). No strain with less isoprene units was found within the Euascomycetes so far. Basidiomycetous yeasts possess coenzyme Q systems with Q-7, Q-8, Q-9, Q-10 and Q-10 (H2) [202 and references therein],... 

An interesting development in this field is the recent report by Dameron et al. (88) of the biosynthesis of quantum-sized CdS crystals in the yeast cells Candida glabrata and Schizo saccharomyces pombe. Exposed to Cd ions these cells synthesize certain peptides with an enhanced sulfide production. Small CdS crystals are formed inside the cells. These crystallize in the rock salt structure (and not in the thermodynamically stable hexagonal configuration). The organism controls particle nucleation and growth, so that uniformly sized CdS particles of about 20 A are formed. They show pronounced quantum-size effects. This is the first example of the biosynthesis of quantum-sized semiconductor crystallites. It constitutes a metabolic route for the detoxification of Cd " -infected living cells (see also 89). 

During the re-synthesis of the cell-wall region by protoplasts of Schizo-saccharomyces pombe, synthesis of /8-D-glucan has been found to precede synthesis of (1 3)-a-D-glucan. D-Glucans, referred to as elicitors, but so...

For normal growth with different sources of carbon, many yeasts require myo-inositol in small quantities, as it is important in lipid metabolism.122 Accordingly, strains of Kloeckera apiculata (brevis),655,656 Saccharomyces uvarurn (carlsbergensis),657 658 Schizo-...
