    Notes: Abstract Light and antimycin markedly affected growth and carotenoid synthesis by Phaffia rhodozyma. Exposure of the yeast to high light intensities on agar plates resulted in growth inhibition and decreased carotenoid synthesis. The carotenoid compositions of the yeast were also notably changed by light. β-zeacarotene increased, whereas β-carotene and xanthophylls decreased including astaxanthin, phoenicoxanthin, and 3-hydroxy-3′, 4′-didehydro-β,Ψ-caroten-4-one (HDCO). In liquid medium, growth of the wild-type strain (UCD-FST-67-385) was inhibited by antimycin, but this inhibition was relieved by exposure to light. Light also stimulated carotenoid synthesis about twofold in these antimycin-treated cells. Light may have rescued growth by induction of an alternative oxidase system which facilitated electron disposal when the main respiratory chain was inhibited by antimycin. Isolation and characterization of the oxidase enzymes should be useful in strain development for increased carotenoid production.

    Notes: Abstract Of the seven amino acids required by Clostridium botulinum type E, tryptophan is the most essential and may provide the cell with nitrogen. The addition of excess tryptophan (10–20 mM) or other nitrogenous nutrients to minimal growth medium markedly decreased toxin formation but did not affect growth in C. botulinum type E. On the other hand, the addition of an enzymatic digest of casein (NZ Case) stimulated toxin formation and overcame repression by tryptophan. Immunoblots of proteins in culture fluids using antibodies to type E toxin indicated that tryptophan-repressed cultures produced less neurotoxin protein. Inhibitors of neurotoxin did not accumulate in cultures grown in minimal medium supplemented with high tryptophan. The results suggest that tryptophan availability in foods or in the intestine may be important for toxin formation by C. botulinum type E.

    Notes: The technology for culture of epidermis is one of the most advanced to date for generation of a tissue in vitro. Cultured epidermis is already used for a number of applications ranging from use as a permanent skin replacement to use as an organotypic culture model for toxicity testing and basic research. While simple epidermal sheets have been grafted successfully, more advanced models for skin replacement consisting of both dermal and epidermal components are in development and being tested in a number of laboratories. One of the most advanced in vitro models is the living skin equivalent, an organotypic model consisting of a collagen lattice contracted and nourished by dermal fibroblasts overlaid with a fully formed epidermis.
