mentation of such medium based on wheat flour results
in the higher fermentation degree of sugars for a shorter
period of time in both the control group and in the media
containing compounds 1—4. The experiment resulted also
in the higher yield of ethanol. Thus, the yield in the conꢀ
trol was 61% and increased by 5—9% when compounds
1—4 were introduced in the flour medium (Table 2).
In conclusion, we found that tris(2ꢀhydroxyethyl)ꢀ
ammonium arylchalcogenylacetates 1—4 are efficient
synthetic stimulants of growth and development of race
XII yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and make it possible
to intensify the process of their cultivation. This is reꢀ
flected in the biomass growth and increase in the rate of
the culture growth in the logarithmic phase by 2—5 times.
The content of protein in the yeast biomass increases by
2—15%. The highest growth of the content of protein
compounds is observed when compound 2 is introduced
in the nutrient medium in a concentration of 1•10–6 wt.%.
A positive influence of compounds 1—4 on the yeast
cells allows increasing the depth of sugar fermentation
and enhancing ethanolꢀdirected metabolism of yeast cells.
The yield of ethanol in the presence of compounds 1—4
increases by 5—9%. The use of biostimulants in producꢀ
tion of ethanol (biofuel), as well as of fodder and baker´s
yeast, will increase the efficiency of the processes and the
yields of the target products per mass unit of consumed
sugar. The advantage of synthetic biostimulants 1—4 is
their availability, low cost, good solublility in water,
stability on storage, nontoxicity, and efficiency in low
concentrations (1•10–8—1•10–4 wt.%).

Biological tests. The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae of race
XII were cultivated on a synthetic Reeder medium of the folꢀ
lowing composition (g L–1): sucrose — 20; (NH4)2SO4 — 3;
MgSO4 — 0.7; NaCl — 0.5; KH2PO4 — 1; K2HPO4 — 0.1. The
dosage of compounds 1—4 into the nutrient medium was carꢀ
ried out as follows. A matrix solution with a concentration of
2 mg mL–1 (compounds 1—4 (200 mg) were dissolved in disꢀ
tilled water (100 mL)) was prepared. Then, a serial dilution of
the matrix solution was carried out to a concentration of
1•10–7—1•10–2 wt.%. The diluted matrix solution was dosed
into the nutrient medium in an amount necessary to obtain the
desired concentration. The inoculum of the yeast Saccharoꢀ
myces cerevisiae of race XII was prepared by seeding on sloping
wortꢀagar with further rinsing of the grown culture with the
Reeder medium. The content of yeast cells in the inoculum was
(7—8)•106 cell mL–1; the dosage of inoculum is 5% to the
volume of the nutrient medium. The cultivation was carried
out for 20—36 (72) h at 30 °C. The total amount of yeast cells in
the culture medium was determined by optical method on
a KFKꢀ3 photoelectrocolorimeter (ZOMS) at 490 nm. The
viability of the yeast was assessed by the presence of living and
budding cells. The content of living cells was determined by
staining with methylene blue, that of the budding cells by microꢀ
scopy. Control experiments were carried out with the addition
of distilled water to the nutrient medium instead of the solution
of compounds 1—4. The total biomass of yeast was determined
by gravimetric method, the protein content in the biomass was
determined by colorimetry with amidoꢀblack.17 The alcohol
Experimental
Synthesis of compounds 1—4 (general procedure). A soluꢀ
tion of tris(2ꢀhydroxyethyl)amine (triethanolamine) and the
corresponding acid in ethyl alcohol (molar ratio 1 : 1) was
heated for 15—30 min at 65 °C and maintained for 1 h at 20—22 °C.
The mixture was poured into diethyl ether (anhydrous) and
maintained for 12 h at 5—10 °C. A precipitate was collected by
filtration, washed with ether, and dried in vacuo. The products
were isolated as colorless powders, well soluble in water and
ethanol. The composition and the structure of compounds 1—4
