Arxula adeninivorans

  • Chapter
Nonconventional Yeasts in Biotechnology

Abstract

In 1984, Middelhoven et al. described a yeast species which was isolated from soil by the enrichment culture method. The yeast was known as Trichosporon adeninovorans at that time. This strain (CBS 8244T) displays unusual biochemical activities. It was shown to assimilate adenine and several other purine compounds as sole source of carbon and energy. Moreover, it grows at the expense of several amines.
