The object of this work was to find out whether it was possible to cultivate yeasts in chemostat in varying regime: at multiple changes to temperature from the optimal one (31 degrees C) to the supraoptimal one (37 degrees C) and back with a frequency comparable to the generation time; this regime was alternated during 32 generations. The cultures were compared with chemostat cultures grown in steady-state regimes at 31 or 37 degrees C. The value of Y, the composition of cells and morphometric characteristics were determined by the optical-structural computer analysis. The size and shape of cells and the optical properties of the protoplasm were found to be in the oscillatory regime correlating with changes in the growth temperature and periodically tending to the normal characteristics. The value of Y, the content of RNA and protein in the biomass gradually stabilized. A possibility, in principal, to continuously cultivate yeasts is discussed when the conditions of the environment are rhythmically changed and the process is controlled in the morpho-physiological characteristics of the cells.

D010507 Periodicity The tendency of a phenomenon to recur at regular intervals; in biological systems, the recurrence of certain activities (including hormonal, cellular, neural) may be annual, seasonal, monthly, daily, or more frequently (ultradian).

D002175 Candida A genus of yeast-like mitosporic Saccharomycetales fungi characterized by producing yeast cells, mycelia, pseudomycelia, and blastophores. It is commonly part of the normal flora of the skin, mouth, intestinal tract, and vagina, but can cause a variety of infections, including CANDIDIASIS; ONYCHOMYCOSIS; VULVOVAGINAL CANDIDIASIS; and CANDIDIASIS, ORAL (THRUSH). Candida guilliermondii var. nitratophila,Candida utilis,Cyberlindnera jadinii,Hansenula jadinii,Lindnera jadinii,Monilia,Pichia jadinii,Saccharomyces jadinii,Torula utilis,Torulopsis utilis,Monilias
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
D013696 Temperature The property of objects that determines the direction of heat flow when they are placed in direct thermal contact. The temperature is the energy of microscopic motions (vibrational and translational) of the particles of atoms. Temperatures
