Summary

Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Candida curiosa excrete surface active agents when incubated in water. The surface tension of cellfree supernatants shows reproducible discontinuities at about 15, 27, 43 and 61°C in the order of 0.2-0.9 dyn cm-1. Their position coincides with the kinks for water known from literature. With both yeasts fully corresponding discontinuities at 17°C and 27°C appeared in the curves of temperature dependent growth. The results are discussed in relation to microphysical and chemical reactions at the boundary zone of the cells towards the medium.

Zusammenfassung

Inkubierung in Wasser induziert bei Saccharomyces cerevisiae und Candida curiosa die Abgabe grenzflächenaktiver Substanzen. Die Oberflächen-spannung (OS) des zellfreien Überstandes zeigt bei etwa 15, 27, 43 und 61°C reprduzierbare Diskontinuitäten von 0,2-0,9 dyn cm-1. Die Lage der Sprünge stimmt mit den aus der Literatur bekannten “Anomaliepunkten” (kinds) von Wasser weitgehend überein. Entsprechende Diskontinuitäten traten in der Temperaturabhängigkeit des Wachstums beider Hefen in vollem Umfang bei 17 und 27°C hervor. Die Ergebnisse werden im Zusammenhang mit mikrophysikalisch-chemischen Reaktionen in der Grenzzone Zelle/Medium diskutiert.
