title: Stimulation of nitrate reductase activity of the salt-tolerant yeast Rhodotorula glutinis by tungsten in the presence of molybdenum.
abstract: Tungsten in the presence of molybdenum stimulates nitrate reductase activity and growth of the salt-tolerant yeast Rhodotorula glutinis on medium with nitrates. Tungsten is not incorporated in proteins possessing nitrate reductase activity. A significant increase in molybdenum cofactor in cells grown on medium with equimolar amounts of molybdenum and tungsten may relate to the stimulatory action of tungsten.
