[The chemical composition of Aureobasidium (Pullularia) pullulans cells].

Amino acid composition of total protein, free intracellular amino acids, reducing substances, nucleic acids, lipids, vitamins of the B group, and mineral composition were studied in the cells of Aureobasidium (Pullularia) pullulans, strain 8. Protein contained all 11 essential amino acids. The content of these substances was the following: nucleic acids, 1.5%; protein, 30.83+/-0.2%; reducing substances, 35.3+/-0.1%; lipids, 14.03+/-0.36%; ash, 794+/-4 mg%. Among six studied vitamins (B1, B3, B6, PP, B7, B8), the content of inositol was highest (398.2 mcg/g), B3 was not found, and only traces of other vitamins were detected.
