Smutok OV, Os'mak GS, Gaida GZ, Gonchar MV: [Screening of yeasts producing stable L-lactate cytochrome c oxidoreductase and regulation of enzyme synthesis]. Mikrobiologiia. 2006 Jan-Feb;75(1):29-34.
Screening of strains producing a stable form of L-lactate cytochrome c oxidoreductase (flavocytochrome b2, FC b2) was carried out among 14 yeast species. Enzyme activity was detected in polyacrylamide gel after the electrophoresis of cell-free extracts. The FC b2 of Hansenula polymorpha, Rhodotorula pilimanae, and Kluyveromyces lactis are characterized by high thermostability; in particular, the FC b2 of H. polymorpha retains its activity and tetrameric structure even after heating at 60 degrees C for 10 min. Constitutive synthesis of FC b2 was observed in H. polymorpha grown on either glucose, ethanol, or glycerol. L-Lactate induces de novo synthesis of FC b2, as proved by the use of cycloheximide, an inhibitor of protein synthesis. |
