It was established that during the growth of S.cerevisiae in the medium with 0,1% glucose the level of nonetherified fatty acids is higher than in the yeast Schw. Occidentalis. The content of nonetherified fatty acids in Crabtree-positive and Crabtree-negative yeasts changes in opposite directions to the increase of glucose concentration in the medium: it is reduced in S.cerevisiae and increased in Schw.occidentalis. In this case the level of C18-unsaturated fatty acids and Ñ18/C16 decreased, and the amount of short-chain fatty acids increased in S.cerevisiae.


Keywords: fatty acids, glucose, Crabtree effect, yeasts.
