, p. 2185 - 2188 (1982)
The formation of volatile excretion was studied in axenic cultures of Ochromonas danica.Under microaerobic conditions in the light, an accumulation of O- and S-methyl esters, alcohols, dimethyldisulphide was observed in the medium.Most of the compounds are structurally derived from the amino acids methionine, valine , leucine and isoleucine.The excreted volatile compounds, particularly the methyl thioesters, were rapidly metabolized in the dark.Key Word Index - Ochromonas danica; metabolism; volatile excretion products; O-esters; S-esters; microaerobiosis.
