The effect of oxidative stress on riboflavin (vitamin B2) biosynthesis and iron accumulation in flavinogenic yeast P. guilliermondii was investigated. Treatment of P. guilliermondii cells with superoxidgenerating agent methylviologen leads to elevated production of malondialdyhyd (MDA) which reflects the overall cellular oxidation state. Increased iron content in the cells and enhanced productivity of flavinogenesis under these conditions has been shown too. Significant increasing of MDA and riboflavin production by yeast cells under iron deficiency was observed. Riboflavin overproducing P. guilliermondii mutant strains rib80, rib81 and hit, possess high iron transport and synthesize increased quantity of MDA. The role of riboflavin overproduction and activation of iron assimilation in the P. guilliermondii antioxidant defence is discussed. |
