Trichosporon adeninovorans sp. nov., a yeast species utilizing adenine, xanthine, uric acid, putrescine and primary n-alkylamines as the sole source of carbon, nitrogen and energy.

A new yeast species, Trichosporon adeninovorans, was isolated from soil by the enrichment culture method. Apart from adenine, the strain utilized uric acid, guanine, xanthine, hypoxanthine, 6,8-dihydroxypurine, putrescine, propylamine, butylamine, pentylamine, hexylamine and octylamine as sole source of carbon, nitrogen and energy. The structure of the cell wall of Tr. adeninovorans was ascomycetous. On the subcellular level growth on adenine or uric acid was accompanied with the development of microbodies in the cell. These cell organelles probably were the site of urate oxidase, an enzyme that, after growth on purine substrates, together with allantoinase was present at high activities. Low activities of adenine amidohydrolase and xanthine dehydrogenase were also demonstrated.[1]
