“…cutaneum predominated in most of the enrichment cultures. The basidiomycetous species found to be uric acid-or amine-positive are known to be hydrocarbon-negative (Bos and De Bruyn, 1973;Barnett et al, 1983), except for Tr. aquatile.…”

“…All ascomycetous yeast species assimilating uric acid and/or n-alkylamines are known to assimilate n-hydrocarbons (Bos and De Bruyn, 1973;Barnett et al, 1983). Eight out of ten type strains of hydrocarbon-positive yeast species not encountered in the enrichment cultures assimilated at least putrescine or pentylamine, but not uric acid.…”

“…Assimilation o famines and purines by other yeast species All isolated ascomycetous yeast strains able to utilize uric acid or an n-alkylamine (Table 1) belonged to species known to assimilate hydrocarbons (Bos and De Bruyn, 1973;Barnett et al, 1983). Type strains of ten hydrocarbon-positive yeast species not encountered in the enrichment cultures were tested for their ability to utilize uric acid and some amines as the sole source of carbon (Table 2).…”

“…These phenomena have been considered from a taxonomic point of view (Hazeu et al, 1972;Bos and De Bruyn, 1973). Recently, utilization by some yeasts of uric acid (Middelhoven et al, 1983) and adenine (Middelhoven et al, 1984) as sole carbon source was demonstrated.…”

Yeast strains utilizing uric acid, adenine, monoamines or diamines as sole source of carbon and energy were isolated from several soil samples by the enrichment culture method. The most common species was Trichosporon cutaneum. Strains of Candida catenulata, C. famata, C. parapsilosis, C. rugosa, Cryptococcus laurentii, Stephanoascus ciferrii and Tr. adeninovorans were also isolated. All strains utilizing uric acid as sole carbon source utilized some primary n-alkyl-l-amines, hydroxyamines or diamines as well. The ascomycetous yeast strains showing these characteristics all belonged to species known to assimilate hydrocarbons. Type strains of hydrocarbon-positive yeast species which were not found in the enrichment cultures generally assimilated putrescine, some type strains also butylamine or pentylamine, but none assimilated uric acid. Methanol-positive species were not isolated. Type strains of methanol-positive and of hydrocarbon-negative species did not assimilate uric acid, butylamine or putrescine. Assimilation of putrescine as sole source of carbon and energy may be a valuable diagnostic criterion in yeast taxonomy.

“…The first data on C. maltosa were published together with the description of a nearly related new species named Candida cloacae Komagata, Nakase et Katsuya, isolated from mud as a kerosene-enrichment culture (Komagata et al 1964a,b; Table 1). These two strains, C. maltosa (later becoming the type strain CBS5611) and C. cloacae (type strain CBS5612), together with C. tropicalis, belong to the best hydrocarbon-assimilating yeasts (Bos and de Bruyn 1973) and have similar fermentation and assimilation patterns (van Uden and Buckley 1970). The yeasts C. maltosa and C. cloacae were first considered to be separate species by Table 1.…”

Electron-microscopic examinations have demonstrated local modifications in the cell wall of the yeast Candida maltosa grown on hexadecane. In our earlier studies, these modified sites, observed in other yeasts grown on oil hydrocarbons, were conventionally called 'canals'. The biochemical and cytochemical studies of C. maltosa have revealed a correlation between the formation of 'canals' and decrease in the amount of cell wall polysaccharides, glucan and mannan. The ultrathin sections and surface replicas have shown that the 'canals' are destroyed by pronase, thus indicating that a significant proportion of their content is represented by proteins. This finding was compatible with our earlier data on the localization of oxidative enzymes in 'canals' and possible participation of the 'canals' in the primary oxidation of hydrocarbons. A completely unexpected and intriguing phenomenon has been the appearance of 'canals' in the yeast C. maltosa under starvation conditions. Unlike the yeasts grown on hexadecane, mannan almost disappears in starving cells, while the quantity of glucan first decreases and then is restored to its initial level. The role of 'canals' in starving cells is as yet unclear; it is assumed that they acquire exoenzymes involved in the utilization of products of cell lysis in the starving population. In the future, 'canals' of starving cells will be studied in connection with their possible participation in apoptosis.
