In a study of the assimilation of a number of nucleic acid derivatives by Candida (Torulopsis) utilis, Di Carlo, Schultz, and McManus ('51) found that the nitrogen of all of the naturally occurring purines that were tested was utilized for growth. It was suggested that C . utilis contains the enzyme
Roush and Domnas ('56) found that uric acid was accumulated by an active transport process in the yeast Candida utilis (formerly known as Torulopsis utilis). Roush, Questiaux, and Domnas ('59) demonstrated similar accumulation of six other purines by the same species. The amounts of purine accumulat
Unlike other yeasts so far investigated, the D-glucose carrier of Candida utilis (strain NCYC 737) appears to change affinity for D-glucose according to its exogenous concentration. When the concentration of D-glucose was less than 0.4 mM, the apparent Km approximately 0.2 mM; at greater than 0.4 mM
