Transport-limited sucrose utilization and neokestose production by Phaffia rhodozyma

Growth of an astaxanthin hyper-producing strain of Phaffia rhodozyma on sucrose is accompanied by the accumulation of glucose and fructose in the medium due to the limited capacity of the corresponding monosaccharide transport system or systems. This is accompanied by the production of the trisaccha...

Description
Summary:Growth of an astaxanthin hyper-producing strain of Phaffia rhodozyma on sucrose is accompanied by the accumulation of glucose and fructose in the medium due to the limited capacity of the corresponding monosaccharide transport system or systems. This is accompanied by the production of the trisaccharide neokestose by transglycosylation reactions. (DBO)
