The cell-envelope glycolipids of baker's yeast.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sphingolipids were found to dominate in the glycolipids from the cell envelope of baker's yeast. A relatively large quantity of ceramides was detected. Among the several complex phosphosphingolipids described, ceramide-(P-inositol)(2)-mannose was the main component. About 55% of long-chain bases in sphingolipids consisted of C(18)-phytosphingosine (4D-hydroxysphinganine). Other bases, found in decreasing concentrations, were C(20)-phytosphingosine, C(20)-dehydrophytosphingosine, C(18)-dihydrosphingosine (sphinganine) and C(19)-dihydrosphingosine. The presence of sterol glycosides, sulpholipids, cerebrosides and acylglucoses was demonstrated.

Occurrence of long-chain fatty acids and glycolipids in the cell envelope fractions of baker's yeast.
1. The total yield of fatty acids from the whole envelopes was markedly higher than that obtained from the ordinary cell walls. In both samples the major fatty acids were C(16) and C(18) acids. 2. The whole envelopes contained C(18) acids and long-chain (C(19)-C(26)) fatty acids, in a higher proportion than did the ordinary cell walls. Fifteen fatty acids with more than 18 carbon atoms were ide...
متن کاملBaker’s yeast catalyzed Henry reaction: Biocatalytic C-C bond formation
The C-C bond formation is an important reaction in organic synthesis to obtain value-added intermediates. Therefore, in this paper an attempt has been made to accelerate the Henry reaction (C-C bond formation) between aryl aldehydes and nitromethane using less expensive whole cell biocatalyst, baker’s yeast (BY). The scope of the methodology was also tested for the heteryl aldehyde i.e. 2-chlor...

متن کاملThe presence of dolichol in a lipid diphosphate N-acetylglucosamine from Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker's yeast).
The lipid moiety of a lipid diphosphate N-acetylglucosamine, an intermediate in glycosylation of proteins, was studied. Ozonolysis of the compound gave evidence for an alpha-saturated isoprene unit. Alkaline hydrolysis of the glycolipid, followed by high-pressure liquid chromatography, showed the presence of a series of polyprenol homologues identical with those isolated directly from Saccharom...
متن کاملEnhancement of the proline and nitric oxide synthetic pathway improves fermentation ability under multiple baking-associated stress conditions in industrial baker's yeast
BACKGROUND During the bread-making process, industrial baker's yeast, mostly Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is exposed to baking-associated stresses, such as air-drying and freeze-thaw stress. These baking-associated stresses exert severe injury to yeast cells, mainly due to the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to cell death and reduced fermentation ability. Thus, there is a grea...
