title: [Effect of H2O2 stress on glutathione production by Candida utilis].
abstract: Glutathione (GSH) plays an important role in the responses of microorganisms to the environmental stimulation and stress. The effect of H2O2 stress under different fermentation time and H2O2 concentration as well as continuous stress on GSH fermentation of Candida utilis were investigated in this paper. It was found that low concentration of H202 accelerated GSH production. When treated by low concentration of H2O2 (36 mmol/L), the final concentration of GSH reached 922 mg/L and the intracellular GSH content reached 1.64%, which increased by 7% and 35% than the controls, respectively.
