n-Alkane assimilating yeast, Candida tropicalis YO-148, was grown on an n-alkane-containing medium. A synthetic diet containing 6.8% of dried yeast was fed to rats. The fatty acid composition of adipose tissue and liver fats was determined after a two week feeding period. The percentage of odd-numbered acids increased in the animals fed the yeast diet. Furthermore, it was shown that heptadecenoic acid, the major odd-numbered acid in yeast, was accumulated in neutral lipid fraction of adipose tissue fat. Fatty acid composition of protein isolate prepared from yeast cells had a profile similar to that of the original cells.
正烷烃同化酵母热带假丝酵母YO - 148在含正烷烃的培养基上生长。将含有6.8%干酵母的合成饲料喂给大鼠。在两周的喂养期后，测定了脂肪组织和肝脏脂肪的脂肪酸组成。喂食酵母饲料的动物体内奇数酸的百分比增加。此外，还表明酵母中的主要奇数酸十七碳烯酸积累在脂肪组织脂肪的中性脂质部分。从酵母细胞制备的蛋白质分离物的脂肪酸组成与原始细胞的脂肪酸组成相似。
