Abstract
Yeast cells capable of utilizing hydrocarbons or methanol are found to contain microbodies when they are grown on such substrates as the sole source of C and energy. Ultrastructural studies on the occurrence of microbodies in C. rugosa cells when they are grown on substrates of hydrocarbons of different chain lengths (glucose, decane, hexadecane and 1-hexadecene) were reported. In C. rugosa, the chain length of saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbons used in the growth medium did not greatly affect the number and size of microbodies formed but rather the occurrence of lipid granules.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
