Abstract:Phytases hydrolyze myo-inositol 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexaphosphate (IP(6)), yielding lower inositol phosphates and inorganic orthophosphate. Two commercial strains of baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), Y(1) and Y(2), were able to express phytase activity. This was determined by the capacity to grow in a synthetic medium with IP(6) as the sole phosphorus source. IP(6) hydrolysis was rapid for both strains, and after 24 h, all IP(6) was degraded. Control cultures contained inorganic orthophosphate (P(i)) and no IP(6). Growth rate in IP(6) medium was for both strains essentially identical to growth in P(i) medium, indicating a well-adapted metabolism for utilization of phosphorus from IP(6). There was some difference in growth yield (milligrams of biomass per milligram of glucose) between the two strains: 0.95 (Y(1)) and 1.35 (Y(2)) in IP(6) medium and 1.03 and 1. 35, respectively, in P(i) medium. The phytases were of the 3-phytase type, forming mainly DL-Ins(1,2,4,5,6)P(5), DL-Ins(1,2,5,6)P(4), and DL-Ins(1,2,6)P(3).
