Production of Extracellular Glutathione by Pk 233 Free

Abstract

Pk 233 produced extracellular glutathione during growth in filamentous form caused by adding ethanol (⩾ 2·5%, v/v). The intracellular concentration of glutathione also was greater in cultures with added ethanol. myo-Inositol added at a physiological concentration (5 µg ml) prevented the ethanol-induced production of extracellular glutathione as well as the morphological change. In batch culture, production of extracellular glutathione was optimal at an ethanol concentration of 5%, and reached a maximum concentration of 42 mg ml after 96 h cultivation, before decreasing gradually.
