Abstract

MYO-INOSITOL deficient cultures of Saccharomyces carlsbergensis strain 4228 (A.T.C.C. 9080) have been reported to grow both at a diminished rate and in abnormal cellular aggregates1,2. A comparison of the composition of deficient and normal cells revealed that myo-inositol deficiency led to an accumulation of glucans in cell walls2. This communication discusses another biochemical abnormality in myo-inositol deficiency resulting in the accumulation of enhanced amount of acetoin in S. carlsbergensis culture medium deficient in myo-inositol.
