Casein phosphatase activities have been identified in five yeast strains grown on Pi-deficient medium. Maximal endocellular activities appeared in the exponential phase. Exocellular phosphatases were significantly produced from Yarrowia lipolytica W-29 and Kluyveromyces marxianus, in the early stationary phase. Major phosphatases from K. marxianus were one heavy acid phosphatase composed of 64–67 kDa subunits, which could be secreted in the medium, and one type 2A protein phosphatase with an apparent molecular mass of 147 kDa and a 52 kDa catalytic subunit dissociated by 80% ethanol treatment. The characteristics of phosphatases purified from K. marxianus were compared with those previously purified from Y. lipolytica.Key words: yeast, type 2A protein phosphatase, acid phosphatase, [32P]casein, Pi deficiency.

Two protein phosphatases (enzymes I and II) were extensively purified from wheat embryo by a procedure involving chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, phenyl-Sepharose CL-4B, DEAE-Sephacel and Ultrogel AcA 44. Preparations of enzyme I (Mr 197,000) are heterogeneous. Preparations of enzyme II (Mr 35,000) contain only one major polypeptide (Mr 17,500), which exactly co-purifies with protein phosphatase II on gel filtration and is not present in preparations of enzyme I. However, this major polypeptide has been identified as calmodulin. Calmodulin and protein phosphatase II can be separated by further chromatography on phenyl-Sepharose CL-4B. Protein phosphatases I and II do not require Mg2+ or Ca2+ for activity. Both enzymes catalyse the dephosphorylation of phosphohistone H1 (phosphorylated by wheat-germ Ca2+-dependent protein kinase) and of phosphocasein (phosphorylated by wheat-germ Ca2+-independent casein kinase), but neither enzyme dephosphorylates a range of non-protein phosphomonoesters tested. Both enzymes are inhibited by Zn2+, Hg2+, vanadate, molybdate, F-, pyrophosphate and ATP.

Eight yeast strains (denoted as D1 to D8) were isolated from samples of natural fermented pineapple. Strain D8 showed highest alcoholic production at low pH and special aroma of pineapple has been chosen for further study. Taxonomic characterization of strain D8 using morphological, biochemical and molecular biological studies confirmed that strain D8  belong to Saccharomycetaceae family, Saccharomycetales order and Saccharomyces cerevisiae species. Therefore, we named this strain as Saccharomyces cerevisiae D8 for further study on Brandy production from pineapple. Citation: Hoang Thi Le Thuong, Nguyen Quang Hao, Tran Thi Thuy, 2017.
