The catalase activities of the Candida cells grown on hydrocarbons were generally much
higher than those of the cells grown on Iauryl alcohol, glucose or ethanol. Km values for …

Amphotericin B (AmB) is known to bind to ergosterol in fungal cell membranes, but the
precise mechanism of its toxicity to cells is as yet poorly understood. AmB autooxidizes, and …

Rhodococcus erythropolis is able to synthesize an anionic trehalose-2, 2′, 3, 4-tetraester
during cultivation on n-alkanes. Preconditions for an overproduction are nitrogen limitation …

Fungal cultures isolated from oil-polluted sea water near Mumbai, India have been studied
for their capability to degrade crude oil. A yeast isolate identified as Yarrowia lipolytica was …

Catalase activities of the cells growing on n-alkanes of various strains of Candida yeasts wer
markedly higher than those of the cells growing on glucose, ethanol or acetate. In …

Localization of fatty acid β‐oxidation system in microbodies of Candida tropicalis cells
growing on n‐alkanes was studied. Microbodies isolated from the yeast cells showed …

Abstract Development of microbodies in Candida tropicalis pK 233 was studied mainly by
electron microscopical observation. The yeast cells, precultured on malt extract, scarcely …

The mechanism of liquid hydrocarbon uptake by microorganisms represents an important
problem. The kinetics of microbial growth on hydrocarbon are a basis for industrial …

MATERIALS AND METHODS Cultivation of the yeast. The yeast used in this study, Candida
tropicalis pK 233, was kindly supplied by the National Fermentation Research Institute …

Microbodies appearing abundantly in n-alkane-grown cells of Candida tropicalis pK 233
were isolated by means of sucrose density gradient centrifugation. Electron microscopical …
