[Ultrastructure of Candida utilis in continuous culture with various concentrations of the carbon source introduced by different technics].
The object of the work was to study changes in the ultrastructure of Candida utilis cells induced by increasing concentrations of glucose during chemostat cultivation and continuous cultivation with glucose pulse feeding. The results indicate that the cell structure and metabolism change vectorially with an increase of glucose concentration regardless of how glucose was added. An increase of the input glucose concentration is followed by an increase in the periplasmic space, the content of glycogen, the length and diameter of mitochondria, and the size of the nucleus. However, in the case of glucose pulse feeding, the above changes in the cell structure occur at a considerably lower input concentration as compared to the chemostat culture. Under these conditions, microtubuli are assembled in the cytoplasm in response to the glucose stimulus.
