UNBALANCED GROWTH OF YEAST DUE TO INOSITOL DEFICIENCY

Abstract
Unbalanced growth leading to death was shown to occur with the inositol requiring yeasts Saccharomyces carlsbergensis and Kloeckera apiculata when they were incubated in a medium lacking inositol but otherwise complete. This death was ac- companied by the loss of cytochromes and nucleotide coenzymes. It was suggested that the basic biochemical lesion involved is one affecting the structure of cytoplasmic granules.
