[The effect of succinate on respiration, transamination, and pyruvate formation in cells of the yeast Dipodascus magnusii].
The effect of succinate on the growth and respiration of the yeast Dipodascus magnusii VKM Y-1072, which is auxotrophic for thiamine and biotin, was studied. The addition of succinate to a culture grown on glucose was found to activate the respiration of cells on various substrates by enhancing the processes related to transamination reactions. In this case, aerobic fermentation (ethanol production) decreased, whereas pyruvate production increased. When succinate was added to the medium as the sole carbon source, it supported yeast growth in the absence of one of the two vitamins, thiamine or biotin, but not both. The yeast metabolism was completely respiratory, without any signs of aerobic fermentation. A drastic rise in pyruvate production in the yeast grown on glucose in the presence of succinate and the absence of biotin are also indicative of metabolic changes.
