  • Title: Radiorespirometry of Candida utilis in phased culture under nitrogen-, carbon-, and phosphorus-limited growth.
    Author: Dawson PS, Steinhauer LP.
    Journal: Can J Microbiol; 1977 Dec; 23(12):1689-94. PubMed ID: 563765.
    Abstract:
    The release of 14CO2 from specifically labelled glucose ([G-1-14C],[G-2-14C],[G-3,4-14C], and [G-6-14C]) by phased cells of C. utilis was examined at intervals during 6-h cycles under conditions of N-,P-, and C-limited growth. On the basis that the release of 14CO2 from [G-1-C14] could serve as a measure of hexose monophosphate pathway (HMP) activity, of 14CO2 from [G-3,4-14C] as a measure of Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas (EMP) activity, and 14CO2 from [G-6-14C] as indicative of tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle activity, it was concluded that a relatively uniform operation of EMP occurred throughout the cycle in N-, P-, and C-limited cells, and of HMP and TCA in C-limited cells, but considerable variations took place in HMP and TCA cycle activities in N- and P-limited cells. The patterns of 14CO2 released from [G-2-14C] were more closely related to those observed from [G-1-14C] and [G-3,4-14C] than from [G-6-14C]. Changes in the rate of 14CO2 evolution during the cycle were sometimes abrupt and likely coincided with 'critical points' of metabolic activity in the cycle.
