Control of catalase and peroxidase biosynthesis by carbon source and oxygen in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. 1983

E Valdivia, and J Martinez, and J M Ortega, and E Montoya

The effect of carbon source and oxygen tension on catalase and peroxidase levels and on the intermediates of the biosynthesis of the prosthetic group of both enzymes has been studied. Oxygen produces an increase of both enzymatic activities, even in presence of glucose. On the other hand it seems probable that glucose does not have a direct inhibitory effect on the biosynthesis of 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) and porphyrins.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D007773 Lactates Salts or esters of LACTIC ACID containing the general formula CH3CHOHCOOR.
D010544 Peroxidases Ovoperoxidase
D011166 Porphyrins A group of compounds containing the porphin structure, four pyrrole rings connected by methine bridges in a cyclic configuration to which a variety of side chains are attached. The nature of the side chain is indicated by a prefix, as uroporphyrin, hematoporphyrin, etc. The porphyrins, in combination with iron, form the heme component in biologically significant compounds such as hemoglobin and myoglobin. Porphyrin
D002374 Catalase An oxidoreductase that catalyzes the conversion of HYDROGEN PEROXIDE to water and oxygen. It is present in many animal cells. A deficiency of this enzyme results in ACATALASIA. Catalase A,Catalase T,Manganese Catalase,Mn Catalase
D003470 Culture Media Any liquid or solid preparation made specifically for the growth, storage, or transport of microorganisms or other types of cells. The variety of media that exist allow for the culturing of specific microorganisms and cell types, such as differential media, selective media, test media, and defined media. Solid media consist of liquid media that have been solidified with an agent such as AGAR or GELATIN. Media, Culture
