Degradation of 4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid by Trichosporon cutaneum.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Trichosporon cutaneum degraded 4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid to acetoacetic and malic acids. 3.4-Dihydroxyphenylacetic acid, an intermediate in the reaction sequence, underwent hydroxylation before the benzene ring was cleaved.

Selection and characterization of L-ethionine resistant mutants of Trichosporon cutaneum.
Trichosporon cutaneum R57 and its L-ethionine resistant mutant NZ94 strain were investigated. The amino acid analyses of cell content of both strains were carried out. The pool of free methionine in the mutant strain is enhanced 16.5 times. The total amount of sulphur-containing amino acids in the mutant cells was significantly increased from 36.8 in the wild strain to 113.4 mg/g protein in the...
متن کاملBiodegradation of olive mill wastewater by Trichosporon cutaneum and Geotrichum candidum.
Olive oil production generates large volumes of wastewater. These wastewaters are characterised by high chemical oxygen demand (COD), high content of microbial growth-inhibiting compounds such as phenolic compounds and tannins, and dark colour. The aim of this study was to investigate biodegradation of olive mill wastewater (OMW) by yeasts Trichosporon cutaneum and Geotrichum candidum. The yeas...
متن کاملInfluence of phenolic substrates utilised by yeast Trichosporon cutaneum on the degradation kinetics
The degradation kinetics of different phenolic substrates utilised by Trichosporon cutaneum R57 was studied. The following compounds were used as substrates: phenol, resorcinol, hydroquinone, 3-nitrophenol, 2,6-dinitrophenol, 3-chloro phenol and p-cresol. The specific degradation rates (Qs ) were described by a Haldane kinetic model. The unknown model parameters were estimated using the mathema...
متن کاملUsing Odd-Alkanes as a Carbon Source to Increase the Content of Nutritionally Important Fatty Acids in Candida krusei, Trichosporon cutaneum, and Yarrowia lipolytica
We investigated the possibility of utilizing unusual carbon sources by three yeast strains: Candida krusei DBM 2136, Trichosporon cutaneum CCY 30-5-10, and Yarrowia lipolytica CCY 30-26-36. These strains are characterized by high biomass yield, ability to accumulate high amounts of lipids, and their potential as producers of dietetically important fatty acids. The aim of this work was the produ...
