Abstract:1) Background: It has been shown that d-galacturonic acid is converted to l-galactonic acid by the basidiomycotic yeast, Cryptococcus diffluens. However, two pathways are hypothesized for the l-galactonic acid conversion process in C. diffluens. One is similar to the conversion process of the filamentous fungi in d-galacturonic acid metabolism and another is the conversion process to l-ascorbic acid, reported in the related yeast, C. laurentii. It is necessary to determine which, if either, process occurs in C… Show more
