Abstract excerpt
Pichia guilliermondii cells overproduce riboflavin (vitamin B2) in responce to iron deprivation. The increase in ferrireductase activity in iron-starved P. guilliermondii cells correlated with the increase in flavin excretion. As in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a typical b-type cytochrome spectrum was associated with the plasma membrane fraction of P. guilliermondii and the cell ferrireductase activity was strongly...
