Regulation of ornithine transcarbamylase in Rhodotorula glutinis.
The regulation of ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) of Rhodotorula glutinis has been studied, by growing the yeasts in different carbon and nitrogen sources and estimating the enzyme level in crude yeasts extracts. The results show a nutritional repression of OTC by arginine, when added to the culture media as carbon, nitrogen or carbon and nitrogen sources. On the other hand ornithine does not exert any effect in the same experimental conditions.
