Abstract: | Activity of hydrogen sulfide production from sulfite was studiedusing a copper-resistant yeast strain (R), its parent strain(P), and the culture of R in the medium without copper addition(R(0)). More hydrogen sulfide was produced under aerobic conditionthan under anaerobic condition. Sulfide producing activity wasin the order of R(0)>P>R under either condition. Stationaryphase cells produced more sulfide than logarithmic phase cellswhen cultured without copper, while the reverse was the casewith R, cultured in copper medium. Sulfide production was inhibitedby high concentrations of sulfite and by salicylaldoxime. Differencein the pathway from sulfite to sulfide was suggested betweenthe resistant strain (R and R(0)) and P in that the former wasmore sensitive to these inhibitors.
