Theoretical Prerequisites for the Possible Use of Bacteria which Split Organophosphates in Order to Increase the Yield of Nutrient Yeast and its Nitrogen and Phosphorous Content,
Abstract
This article reflects the theme of one of the areas of investigation of the Laboratory of Microbial Protein Synthesis, where we are studying the factors which accelerate the conversion (mobility) of macroergic and other phosphorous compounds. The purpose of these studies is to increase the energy the energy supply of the metabolic synthesis reactions connected with the yield and quality of food yeast. Professor Malkov, the author of the idea of the partial inhibition of respiration in order to save carbon, mentions a factor which may be the cause of intensification of the biosynthetic processes of the yeasts he investigated. We are speaking here about the doubled amount of labile phosphorous p7 obtained in yeast as a result of placing it in concentrated orthophosphate. In our investigations the increased labile phosphorous content is connected with the biosynthetic activity of the yeast. The article correlates many stuides which show the very important role of ATP and polyphosphates as energy accumulators and transporters, and presents data from the literature and preliminary results of our own investigations which indicate the exceptional effectiveness of making practical use of the phenomena of microbial synergism and metabiosis. Bacteria which split orthophosphates were studied on the basis of these results. There is also significant interest in the phosphatase activity of food yeast using organophosphates as a phosphorous source.
