title: Formate dehydrogenase activity in methanol-utilizing yeasts.
abstract: The growth and activity of formate dehydrogenase (FDH) in five methanol-utilizing yeasts at various methanol concentrations were investigated. The parameters observed were inhibited at 4% methanol concentration in the medium. For Candida boidinii and Pichia trehalophila FDH activity was not found. The highest value was detected for Pichia lindneri (0.14 U/mg protein).
