摘要
Acetohydroxyacid synthetase activity has been characterized, independently of the acetoin‐forming system in Saccharomyces cerevisiae by a differential colorimetric assay. Maximum pH and Km values have been established for both enzymes with pyruvate as the substrate. Acetolactate formation by acetohydroxyacid synthetase has been shown directly by the separation of dinitrophenylosazones by thin‐layer chromatography. Evidence for the biosynthetic role of the activity measured resides in its presence in wild‐type strains, in its absence in the is2 class of mutants (isoleucine‐valine auxotrophs) and in its reappearance in prototrophic revertants of these mutants.
