Variable influence of ferric and cupric ions on Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains used in asymmetric organic synthesis

  • Published:
Biotechnology Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Fe (III) and Cu (II) each at 50 μM in four commercial strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae induced an increase of NAD(P)+ reduction in one strain (Turkish), but two others (Chilean and Brazilian), the presence of Fe(III) and/or Cu(II) diminished NAD(P)+ reduction presumably due to free radicais formation inside these living cells. Suprisingly, in the American strain, Fe(III) induced a decrease and Cu (II) an increase of NAD(P)+ reduction.
