Abstract
Candida albicans ura3 mutants were found to produce large amounts of orotic acid when the growth medium was supplemented with sodium acetate. Experiments with 13C-labeled acetate showed that the acetate served as a precursor of orotic acid. This system of acetate-mediated production of orotic acid is similar to other documented microbial producers in yield but unique for its acetate requirement.
