Abstract

The growth of a bradytrophic mutant isolated from the methanol-utilizing yeast Hansenula polymorpha was found to be stimulated by both tyrosine and phenylalanine. The mutant contained about half as much chorismate mutase activity as the wild-type strain. When grown in a medium containing 2% mehtanol as the major carbon and energy source, the bradytroph excreted a low but significant level (28 mg/liter) of L-tryptophan.
