1. β-Ionone vapour has been shown to cause an increase in the more saturated carotenes and a decrease in the less saturated carotenes of Rhodotorula glutinis. Lycopersene (dihydrophytoene) has been proposed as a precursor to phytoene. Attempts were made to isolate lycopersene from β-ionone-treated cultures of R. glutinis. 2. Large samples of β-ionone-treated cultures were examined for the presence of lycopersene. Spots were detected on silicic acid plates that could not be differentiated from synthetic lycopersene on the basis of column and thin-layer chromatographic separations and staining techniques. The lycopersene-like substance could be obtained from non-treated pigmented yeast as well as baker's yeast. 3. An extraction of bacterial-grade yeast extract also yielded a lycopersene-like substance. The extracts of R. glutinis cells cultured on media not containing yeast extract did not contain the lycopersene-like compound. 4. No significant carbon was incorporated into the lycopersene zone from 14C-labelled mevalonate, acetate and glucose by R. glutinis and baker's yeast. 5. These results indicate that compounds may exist with chromatographic properties similar to lycopersene, but that lycopersene could not be detected in either a pigmented or a non-pigmented yeast.

Abstract Despite being widely available, Saccharomyces cerevisiae has not been widely explored for direct extraction of chitosan biopolymer for antimicrobial applications. In our study, S. cerevisiae from Baker’s yeast and Aspergillus niger from moldy onion extracts are studied as alternative sources of chitosan; and S cerevisiae chitosan tested for antimicrobial efficacy. The properties of S. cerevisiae chitosan are compared with moldy onion chitosan and shrimp chitosan extracted from shrimp shells. Chitosan extracted from S. cerevisiae is tested for antimicrobial efficacy against Staphylococcus Aureus. The maximum yields of fungal chitosan are 20.85 ± 0.35 mg/g dry S. cerevisiae biomass at 4th day using a culture broth containing sodium acetate, and 16.15 ± 0.95 mg/g dry A. niger biomass at 12th day. The degree of deacetylation (DD%) of the extracted fungal chitosan samples from S. cerevisiae and A. niger are found to be 63.4%, and 61.2% respectively, using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy. At a concentration of 2 g/L, S. cerevisiae chitosan shows the maximum inhibition zone diameter of 15.48 ± 0.07 mm. Baker’s yeast S cerevisiae biomass and A. niger from moldy onions has not been previously explored as a source of extractible fungal chitosan. This study gives insight that S. cerevisiae and A. niger from agricultural or industrial wastes could be a potential biomass source for production of the chitosan biopolymer. The S. cerevisiae chitosan displayed effective antimicrobial properties against S aureus , indicating the viablitiy of S cerevisae as a resource for extraction of high-quality chitosan.

Yeast extract (YE) was produced from commercial pressed baker's yeast (active and inactivated) using two enzymes: papain and lyticase. The effects of enzyme concentration and hydrolysis time on the recovery of solid, protein and carbohydrate were investigated. Autolysis, as a basic method for cell lysis was also used and the results compared. The optimal extraction conditions were investigated. The optimal concentrations of papain and lyticase were found to be 2.5 % and 0.025 %, respectively.

Yeast extract is extensively applied in various food industries as a food additive to enhance to flavor of food products or as a vitamin supplement. It is also considered as a crucial component of microbiological media. The current study was conducted to optimize a process for the production of yeast extract by using Baker’s yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). The cultivation of yeast biomass was performed in a stirred fermenter. The influence of numerous physical and chemical parameters such as carbon and nitrogen sources, temperature, pH and agitation were evaluated on the production of yeast cells by employing one factor at a time approach and optimum conditions for the production of maximum yeast biomass was determined. The maximum growth was attained using molasses as a substrate at 30ºC supplemented with urea at 150 rpm with pH 4.5. After fermentation, cells were separated by centrifugation and were ruptured by adopting different techniques and autolysis was found the most viable method. Various techniques were applied to dry the yeast extract and the spray dryer was appeared as most effective one. Yeast extract acquired after drying was subjected to various analysis including protein and solid content estimation and amino acid profiling and compared with commercial yeast extract. The dried yeast extract was incorporated in media preparations to grow various microorganisms including yeast, fungi and bacteria and considerable growth was observed. These promising results indicated that the developed process is a cost effective alternative approach for the production of yeast extract.
