The cell-envelope glycolipids of baker''s yeast

Sphingolipids were found to dominate in the glycolipids from the cell envelope of baker's yeast. A relatively large quantity of ceramides was detected. Among the several complex phosphosphingolipids described, ceramide-(P-inositol)(2)-mannose was the main component. About 55% of long-chain bases in sphingolipids consisted of C(18)-phytosphingosine (4D-hydroxysphinganine). Other bases, found in decreasing concentrations, were C(20)-phytosphingosine, C(20)-dehydrophytosphingosine, C(18)-dihydrosphingosine (sphinganine) and C(19)-dihydrosphingosine. The presence of sterol glycosides, sulpholipids, cerebrosides and acylglucoses was demonstrated.     

Über die Anpassung der Bäckerhefe an Galaktose

Zusammenfassung Die mit Einsporen-Kulturen der Bäckerhefe durchgeführten Versuche weisen darauf hin, daß die untersuchten homozygotischen Bäckerhefestämme durch Anpassung imstande waren, Galaktose zu vergären, so daß diese Erscheinung mit der genotypischen Variation nichts zu tun hat.

In vitro Clonal Multiplication of Acorus calamus L

Acorus calamus L (sweet flag) is a semi-aquatic perennial medicinal herb having a creeping and much branched aromatic rhizome. Rhizome buds cultured in MS basal medium supplemented with BAP (8.87μM) and NAA (5.37μM) at light intensity of 30μE m^?2 s^?1 and photoperiod of 12 h produced 8–10 multiple shoots by the eighth week of inoculation. Shoots could be rooted in MS basal medium without growth regulators. They were transplanted in sand and kept in shade for 4 to 5 weeks. 90–95% of the plants were established and were transferred to field after one month.
