Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of hydrostatic pressure on the ultrastructure and leakage of internal substances in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae
TL;DR: The structural damage of pressure-treated cells was accompanied by the leakage of internal substances and amounts of individual metal ion release varied with the magnitude of hydrostatic pressures over 300 MPa, which suggests that the ions can be removed from the yeast cells separately by hydrostatic pressure treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cell Wall Formation in Regenerating Protoplasts of Schizosaccharomyces pombe: Study by High Resolution, Low Voltage Scanning Electron Microscopy
Masako Osumi,Naoko Yamada,Hiromi Kobori,Akiko Taki,Nobuko Naito,Misuzu Baba,Takashi Nagatani +6 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that beta-glucan is the main component of the microfibrils and that it plays an important role in the formation of the cell wall in S. pombe.
Journal ArticleDOI
Beta-oxidation of butyrate, the short-chain-length fatty acid, occurs in peroxisomes in the yeast Candida tropicalis.
Tatsuo Kurihara,Mitsuyoshi Ueda,Hirofumi Okada,Naomi Kamasawa,Nobuko Naito,Masako Osumi,Atsuo Tanaka +6 more
TL;DR: When an n-alkane-utilizable yeast, Candida tropicalis pK233, was cultivated on butyrate, the fatty acid of shortest chain-length for beta-oxidation, as the sole source of carbon and energy, catalase and the enzyme system were inducibly synthesized at high levels, indicating the localization of these enzymes in peroxisomes, not in mitochondria.
Journal ArticleDOI
High Resolution, Low Voltage Scanning Electron Microscopy of Uncoated Yeast Cells Fixed by the Freeze-Substitution Method
Journal ArticleDOI
Morphological changes of Candida albicans induced by BMY-28864, a highly water-soluble pradimicin derivative.
Kei-Ichi Numata,Tomokazu Ueki,Nobuko Naito,Naoko Yamada,Naomi Kamasawa,Toshikazu Oki,Masako Osumi +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that BMY-28864 first attacked the cell membrane and then caused disintegration of other intracytoplasmic organelles, resulting in the lethal effect of Candida albicans A9540.
