    Abstract:
    The influence of oxygen on the level of microsomal electron transport chain components has been studied during the growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Enzyme activities and cytochrome content were assayed in microsomal fractions prepared from a protoplast lysate free from mitochondrial contamination. It was found that the cytochrome P-450 and cytochrome b5 content, to get her with the NADPH-cytochrome (P-450)-reductase and NADH-cytochrome (b5)-reductase activities, were increased in the cells as the pO2 of the medium was decreasing. At the same time an increase in the membrane surface of the endoplasmic reticulum can be observed.
