Abstract
Summary
During 6 days of growth in a medium containing glucose as the major carbon source, Saccharomyces fragilis C-351 secretes about 270 μg of pyridoxol/liter of culture fluid. Most of this is produced between 60 and 108 hr after inoculation.
Studies of the effects of a number of compounds upon the conversion of labeled glucose to pyridoxol indicates that hydroxyacetaldehyde (glycolaldehyde) is a probable direct precursor of pyridoxol in S. fragilis.
