    Notes: Abstract An invertase from the thermophilic fungus, Thermomyces lanuginosus was immobilized on phenyl-Sepharose and its properties were studied. Between the soluble and immobilized forms of the invertase, there were not much difference in their optimum pH, K M and V max for sucrose. In contrast, the K M and V max for raffinose changed significantly. The optimum temperature for the immobilized invertase was lower by 10 ∘C. The immobilized invertase showed remarkable stability at 50 ∘C and was less sensitive to inhibition by metal ions. There was no leaching of the enzyme for at least a month when stored in the refrigerator. The method is novel and specific for the thermophilic invertase as a mesophilic invertase (from yeast) did not bind to phenyl-Sepharose.

    Notes: Abstract The maximum specific growth rate (μmax) of an ethanolic D-xylose-fermenting yeast, Pichia stipitis, showing non-linear growth trends in batch culture, was calculated using the rate equation μ2 = (1/Δt) ln(x 2/x 1). The absolute error Δμ, affecting μ2, was derived using an equation given by Borzani (1994). Based on the assumption of linearity of growth curves between two closest time points, the relation between the two rate formulae, μ1 = (1/x¯)dx t /dt and μ2 = (1/Δt) ln(x 2/x 1) was established. In a particular condition, when μ1 = μ2, an equation has been developed, the roots of which are the specific growth rates at different time points.

    Notes: Abstract Lyophilized cells of the non-pathogenic yeast Saccharomyces boulardii are used in many countries for the treatment of several types of diarrhoea and other gastrointestinal diseases. Although the cells must be viable, their mechanism of action is unknown. The disaccharide trehalose is a protectant against several forms of environmental stress in yeast and is involved in maintaining cell viability. There is no information on the enzymes involved in degradation of trehalose in S. boulardii. The aim of the present study was to characterize trehalase activity in this yeast. Cells of S. boulardii grown in glucose exhibited neutral trehalase activity only in the exponential phase. Acidic trehalase was not detected in glucose medium. Cells grown in trehalose exhibited acid and neutral trehalase activities at all growth stages, particularly in the exponential phase. The optimum pH and temperature values for neutral trehalase activity were determined as 6.5 and 30 °C respectively, the half-life being approximately 3 min at 45 °C. The relative molecular mass of neutral trehalase is 80 kDa and the K m 6.4 mM (±0.6). Neutral trehalase activity at pH 6.5 was weakly inhibited by 5 mM EDTA and strongly inhibited by ATP, as well as the divalent ions Cu++, Fe++ and Zn++. Enzyme activity was stimulated by Mg++ and Ca++ only in the absence of cAMP. The presence of cAMP with no ion additions increased activity by 40%.
