RESUMO

The growth of Pullularia pullulans on L-rhamnose (6-deoxy-L-mannose) as the sole carbon source induces the synthesis of L-rhamnose dehydrogenase, a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of the deoxy sugar to L-rhamnonolactone. The enzyme induction is inhibited by cycloheximide, suggesting de novo synthesis. The presence of d-glucose (0.2%) or D-galactose (0.2%) simultaneously with the inducer in the induction medium produced 50% repression of dehydrogenase synthesis, but no effect was detected with D-fructose and D-mannose at the same concentration. High levels of D-glucose (2%), under maximal catabolite repression conditions, produced a complete inhibition of enzyme synthesis.
