A glycerol-nonutilizing mutant of the salt-tolerant yeast Debaryomyces hansenii was isolated. When subjected to salt stress the mutant produced glycerol, and the internal level of glycerol increased linearly in proportion to increases of external salinity as in the wild-type strain. However, at increased salinity the mutant showed a more pronounced decrease of growth rate and growth yield and lost more glycerol to the surrounding medium than did the wild type. Uptake experiments showed glycerol to be accumulated against a strong concentration gradient, and both strains displayed similar kinetic parameters for the uptake of glycerol. An examination of enzyme activities of the glycerol metabolism revealed that the apparent Km of the sn-glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.99.5) was increased 330-fold for sn-glycerol 3-phosphate in the mutant. Based on the findings, a scheme for the pathways of glycerol metabolism is suggested.
分离得到了耐盐酵母汉逊德巴利酵母的一个甘油非利用突变体。当受到盐胁迫时,该突变体产生甘油,并且其内部甘油水平与野生型菌株一样,随着外部盐度的增加呈线性增加。然而,在盐度增加时,该突变体的生长速率和生长产量下降更为明显,并且比野生型向周围培养基中损失更多的甘油。摄取实验表明甘油是逆着强浓度梯度积累的,并且两种菌株在甘油摄取方面表现出相似的动力学参数。对甘油代谢酶活性的检查发现,突变体中sn-甘油-3-磷酸脱氢酶(EC 1.1.99.5)对sn-甘油-3-磷酸的表观Km增加了330倍。基于这些发现,提出了甘油代谢途径的示意图。
