Crossbred wethers were given a control diet (8 g nitrogen, 730 g dry matter daily) or a low nitrogen diet (0.5 g nitrogen, 520 g dry matter daily) or starved, for a 12 or 20 day experimental period. The concentrations of free serine, glutamine, glycine, alanine, histidine, and arginine in the plasma of the starved sheep decreased significantly while the concentrations of lysine, 3-methylhistidine, and isoleucine increased significantly. The ratio of essential to non-essential amino acids increased from 0.35 to 0.56 in the starved sheep. In sheep on the low nitrogen diet, the ratio of essential to non-essential amino acids in the plasma decreased from 0.40 to 0.27, with significant increases in the concentrations of glutanlic acid, glutamine, glycine, isoleucine, leucine, and 3-methylhistidine. Starvation and the low nitrogen diet both resulted in a reduction of the plasma urea concentrations. Starvation and the low nitrogen diet resulted in a 20-50 % reduction in the flow of saliva and a 40-78% increase in the concentration of total nitrogen. This resulted in no significant change in the daily secretion of nitrogen in the saliva. The concentration of urea in the saliva was increased by 3-54%. The concentrations of individual free amino acids in saliva are reported. The nitrogen content of the rumen was reduced, and after 7 days of starvation or on the low nitrogen diet all rumen nitrogen could be attributed to ammonia and free �-amino nitrogen.

Metabolic Pool

To resolve the sources of amino nitrogen which is accumulated as intracellular solute during hyperosmotic volume regulation, components of protein metabolism were monitored during compensation for a change from 15 to 30% salinity in the blue mussel, Mytilus edulis L. Net solute gain stemmed primarily from a marked reduction in total output from the metabolic pool of free amino acids, most of this ‘saving’ resulting from slower whole-body protein synthesis, and the remainder from lower nitrogenous excretion. Indeed, total inputs to the metabolic pool of free amino acids actually decreased over the period of net solute gain at 30%. Associated contributions from dietary assimilation, de novo synthesis and the direct uptake of dissolved amino acids were each negligible, indicating that breakdown products from endogenous body protein were the only significant source of amino nitrogen accumulated during hyperosmotic regulation. This accumulation represented more than 3% of soft-tissue protein nitrogen within the whole animal. We therefore impress that the excretion, during hyposaline adjustment, of all nitrogen previously accumulated as solute in response to equivalent hypersaline change, represents a major component cost of cell volume regulation, and which helps to explain stress and even mortality consequent upon what may be small but frequent fluctuations of salinity.

An algorithm for the biocatalytic conversion of polymers of subcellular structures of Saccharomyces cerevisiae 985-T has been developed. It was shown that the action of enzymes on cell wall mannoproteins and (3-glucans led to deformation of their structure and the transfer of more than 50% of polysaccharides to a soluble state with the formation of 13.4% reducing carbohydrates, 1.8% amine nitrogen and 7.7% free amino acids (biological-1). Biological-2 had an increased content of total carbohydrates (32.2%) and fiber (10.5%). It was found that the combined action of the complex of proteinases and peptidases contributed to an increase in the degree of hydrolysis of subcellular structures, which was accompanied by a growth of the content of amino nitrogen by 2.7 times, free amino acids by 3.1 times, and low-molecular peptides (up to 500 Da) by 3.5 times (biological-3). The obtained biologicals were characterized by a high content of phosphorus and potassium. It was shown that the use of enzyme systems that catalyze the hydrolysis of intracellular polymers in yeast biomass allows us to obtain products with different biochemical and structural-fractional composition, which determines their properties.

A new ultramicromethod for the quantitative estimation of amino acids by paper partition chromatography is described. The material required and the procedure adopted are detailed. As an application of this new method, a quantitative estimation of the free amino acids present in the blood of the last larval instar of Galleria mellonella (L.) is presented. The results obtained, when converted into total amino nitrogen, compare favorably with total amino nitrogen results already published in the literature.

SUMMARYFree amino·N estimations were used to monitor the movement of free amino acids in blood passing through the hindquarters of sheep and growing pigs. The net uptakeor release of free amino·N was calculated from arterio-venous differences in the concentration of free amino·N measured in whole blood and plasma at short intervals of time.In both species the net change was an apparent release of free amino·N into venous blood. The release increased on fasting. Net uptake of free amino·N from blood was occasionally found at single sampling times due to loss from the cell compartment in sheep and from the plasma compartment in pigs. The uptake measured in whole blood was always less than in a single compartment of blood. The greatest fluctuation in free amino·N concentration occurred in the cells of aorta blood.It is concluded that both blood cells and plasma have independent roles in the net flux of free amino·N requiring determinations of amino acids in both whole blood and plasma to describe the exchange of blood free amino acids with tissue. A negative arteriovenous difference of free amino·N in blood across skeletal muscle is normal for healthy well-fed animals. Fasting increases the negativity.

Dry weights of stipes and pilei of Flammulina velutipes grown on nutrient-supplemented sawdust increased throughout the growth period. The pilei weighed only slightly less than the stipes. Amounts of total organic nitrogen, α-amino nitrogen, and alkali-soluble protein increased in the whole pileus and stipe as the fruitbodies elongated, but the concentrations on a dry weight basis decreased although they were always highest in the pileus. The concentration of alkali-insoluble nitrogen increased in both structures and was highest in the stipe. Concentrations of total nitrogen and protein in surface mycelium did not change significantly when fruitbodies formed but increased markedly when their growth ceased. An average of 8.3 mg dry weight of spores containing about 0.6 mg of nitrogen was released during the life of the fruitbody. Changes in 18 free and 17 protein amino acids were followed quantitatively in the pileus and stipe. Glutamic and aspartic acids and alanine were always among the four predominant free amino acids. Lysine and arginine concentrations remained low in the stipes but increased considerably in the expanding pilei. Ornithine levels increased strongly in the stipe during the early part of rapid elongation but remained almost constant and low in the pilei. Free proline was detected only in traces. Valine became the most abundant protein amino acid during elongation, especially in the stipe. There was very little bound methionine and cystine. In surface mycelium levels of free amino acids were low before fruiting and close to the end of fruitbody growth. Protein amino acids increased during that interval but their proportions remained virtually unchanged and valine was not predominant. The concentration of urea remained very low in both pilei and stipes during their growth.

The chemical characteristics of lysates obtained from yeasts belonging to Metschnikowia spp. were determined. Cell lysis was induced using saponin from Q. saponaria or 5% NaCl. The process was conducted at 50 °C for 24 for 48 h. The enzymatic profiles of the resulting lysates were analyzed. The mannose and glucose contents were also investigated, as well as the concentrations of proteins, free amino nitrogen (FAN), and free amino acids. The results were compared to the characteristics of lysates from conventional industrial strains of Saccharomyces spp. obtained under analogous conditions. The Metschnikowia lysates showed different chemical profiles and the pool of individual amino acids was generally smaller. However, the content of hydroxyproline HPro was 4 to 5 times higher. The results of this study show that yeast lysates are an attractive supplement for numerous applications.
