Biosynthesis of Vitamin B6 in Yeast: Incorporation Pattern of Glucose

Abstract

Two yeasts, Saccharomyces cerevisiae ATCC 7752 and Candida utilis ATCC 9256, were incubated in the presence of variously multiply (13)C-labeled samples of D-glucose. The (13)C incorporation pattern within pyridoxamine dihydrochloride, established by (13)C NMR spectroscopy, differed from that which had previously been found within pyridoxine, isolated from Escherichia coli. Thus, the origin of the carbon skeleton of vitamin B(6) in yeast differs …
