Abstract: | Four strains of wine yeasts of two different species (Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. ellipsoideus and Saccharomyces bayanus) were investigated with respect to the influence of various sulfur compounds on the formation of O-acetylserine sulfhydrylase, O-acetylhomoserine sulfhydrylase and serine sulfhydrase. The specific enzyme activities were followed over a growth period of 96 h.In the presence of sulfate, sulfite and djencolic acid during exponential growth, a moderate increase of O-acetylserine sulfhydrylase and O-acetylhomoserine sulfhydrylase activities was recognized. In three strains cysteine and methionine prevented this derepression. At the end of the exponential growth phase, biosynthesis of these two enzymes was suppressed again. Serine sulfhydrase showed a modified regulation which indicates that its synthesis and the synthesis of O-acetylserine and O-acetylhomoserine sulfhydrylases are not coordinated.Abbreviations OAS
