Occurrence of thiaminase II in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
It was found that cell-free extracts of Saccharomyces cerevisiae contain thiaminase II which hydrolyzes thiamine and thiamine analogs. The possible involvement of this enzyme and thiamine-synthesizing enzymes in thiamine production from thiamine antagonists is discussed.
