title: [Several properties of the extracellular vesicles of Candida tropicalis yeasts grown on n-alkanes].
abstract: Vesicles with a high content of phospholipids were found when Candida tropicalis IBFM-303 was cultivated on n-alkanes. The vesicles were extracellular, and their inner content had a fine-grained structure confined within a monolayer membrane. The number of the vesicles increased in the course of growth and depended on the concentration of n-alkanes in the medium. When the vesicles were added to an inoculate of C. tropicalis IBFM-303, the growth of cells decelerated and the biomass yield decreased. The paper presents experimental results concerning the chemical composition and the activity of some enzymes of these extracellular structures.
