Glycerol utilization by Schizosaccharomyces pombe : dehydrogenation as the initial step

Department of Microbiology, Monash University, Clayton, Victoria 3168, Australia ABSTRACT Strains NCYC 132 and 972h- of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe both lacked glycerol kinase, but produced an NAD + -linked glycerol dehydrogenase. In both strains, production of the dehydrogenase was...

Summary:Department of Microbiology, Monash University, Clayton, Victoria 3168, Australia ABSTRACT Strains NCYC 132 and 972h- of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe both lacked glycerol kinase, but produced an NAD + -linked glycerol dehydrogenase. In both strains, production of the dehydrogenase was subject to catabolite repression, although in strain 972h- glycerol also appeared to exert some inductive effect.
