The Requirement of Oxygen for Utilizing Glycosides and D-Galactose

There are a few, well authenticated reports of the Kluyver effect 

The Utilization of Certain Glycosides and D-Galactose by Some Yeast Species That Show the Kluyver Effect for at Least One Substrate  

The findings concerning the Kluyver effect throw some light on the utilization of glycosides by yeasts in general. For example, according 

The Anaerobic Utilization of Sucrose by 137 Species That Ferment D-Glucose and Use Sucrose Aerobically Association with Utilization of Raffinose  

Two yeasts that utilize inulin have been examined, namely, Candida salmanticensis404 andDebaryomyces polymorphus (cantarellii).40S The former released inulinase into the culture medium and, when purified, this enzyme gave the following values of K 17 mM inulin, 43 mM sucrose, and 2 mM raffinose, with an optimum at pH 4 for all three
