Yeast cell growth

TBP mutants lacking the N-terminal region are fully functional in promoter binding and stimulation of basal transcription and therefore these two functions must be provided by the C-terminal domain. Furthermore, the C-terminal domain of yeast TBP contains all the functions essential for normal yeast cell growth and for responses to specific transcriptional activators with a net negative charge. This C-terminal domain contains two homologous...

FIGURE 1 Yeast cell growth, viability, sugar consumption, and ethanol production patterns of a typical fermentation. In a synthetic grape juice medium. Triple M (Spiropoulos et al., 2000) was used and inoculated with a commercial strain of 5. cerevisiae. Glucose and fructose concentrations were determined by enzymatic assay, viable cell counts by plating on YPD medium, and cell mass by absorbance at 580 nm. 

During the fermentation process, seven supplemental additions of 1 g phenol each had to be made, where the timing was given by the stop of yeast cell growth caused by phenol depletion. The cells were separated from the fermentation broth by centrifugation at room temperature, washed twice with 0,9 % NaCl solution and stored at 4 °C. Candida tropical is cells are spherical to ellipsoidal particles with a mean diameter of 3 to 5 m.

A number of the compounds inhibited mitochondrial activity as measured by yeast cell growth. Some were 3 or 4 times more potent than (1) in this test, in particular (82) and Lu 3-047, the dimethylamino analogue of (81) [234,235]. Notwithstanding the extensive pharmacological investigation, no clinical data have appeared yet. 

When excess substrate interferes with growth and/or product formation. One example is the production of baker s yeast. It is known that relatively low concentrations of certain sugars repress respiration and this will make the yeast cells switch to fermentative metabolism, even under aerobic conditions. This, of course, has a negative effect on biomass yield. When maximum biomass production is aimed at, fed batch cultures are the best choice, since the concentration of limiting sugar remains low enough to avoid repression of respiration. 

Although uptake and accumulation of most amino acids from the external medium seems to be irreversible, amino acids are excreted into the medium whenever they are overproduced above a given threshold by yeast cells [6], This can occur under a number of specific conditions, namely in mutants with impaired regulation of amino acid biosynthesis, or in the presence of mutations preventing substrate catabolism, or when growth occurs in the presence of metabolic intermediates. It can even occur when growth is arrested under conditions where amino acid synthesis can continue.
