Methanol oxidation and assimilation in Hansenula polymorpha
The metabolism of methanol was monitored in whole cells of the methylotrophic yeast Hansenula polymorpha by using [13C]methanol and n.m.r. in vivo. The main products observed under normal conditions were trehalose and glycerol, whereas cells that were starved before exposure to [13C]methanol also accumulated glutamate, glutamine and alanine; formate was also more prominent in spectra from starv...
متن کاملBioconversion of airborne formaldehyde by immobilized formaldehyde dehydrogenase from the recombinant methylotrophic yeast Hansenula polymorpha
Formaldehyde (FA) is a very toxic pollutant. FA in indoor air has a negative effect on human health and should be removed by ventilation or by conversion to non-toxic products. The formaldehyde dehydrogenase (FdDH), a NADand glutathione-dependent enzyme from recombinant methylotrophic yeast Hansenula polymorpha, was tested for its ability to oxidize airborne FA. A continuous fluidized bed biore...
متن کاملHansenula polymorpha Swi1p and Snf2p are essential for methanol utilisation.
We have cloned the Hansenula polymorpha SWI1 and SNF2 genes by functional complementation of mutants that are defective in methanol utilisation. These genes encode proteins similar to Saccharomyces cerevisiae Swi1p and Snf2p, which are subunits of the SWI/SNF complex. This complex belongs to the family of nucleosome-remodeling complexes that play a role in transcriptional control of gene expres...
متن کاملProduction of Formaldehyde by Detergent-Treated Cells of a Methanol Yeast, Candida boidinii S2 Mutant Strain AOU-1.
Treatment of cells of a methanol yeast, Candida boidinii, with the cationic detergent cetyldimethylbenzyl-ammonium chloride (Cation M2) improved the production of formaldehyde. Formaldehyde production was improved twofold with respect to the initial amount of formaldehyde and 1.61-fold with respect to the final amount of formaldehyde after a 12-h reaction under optimized detergent treatment con...
متن کاملPexophagy in Hansenula polymorpha.
In the yeast Hansenula polymorpha the development and turnover of peroxisomes is readily achieved by manipulation of the cultivation conditions. The organelles massively develop when the cells are incubated in the presence of methanol as the sole source of carbon and energy. However, they are rapidly and selectively degraded when methanol-grown cells are placed at conditions of repression of me...
