[Isolation and morphological and biochemical characterization of mitochondria of yeast Torulopsis candida grown on glucose and hexadecane]. / /Vydelinie i morfologo-biokhimicheskaia kharakteristika mitokhondrii drozhzhei Torulopsis candida, vyrashchennykh na gliukoze i na geksadekane

A method for isolating intact mitochondria from Torulopsis candida grown on glucose and hexadecane was developed. The isolated mitochondria were capable of oxidizing substrates of the di- and tricarboxylic acid cycle and of showing Chance respiration control. The morphological examination of the fractions showed that the major portion of mitochondria from yeast grown on glucose were in the condensed form whereas mitochondria from yeast grown on hexadecane were in the orthodoxal form.
