Abstract
Effects of two growth media, age of cells and phase of sporulation on heat resistance of Hansenula anomala were determined. Cells were grown on two solid media, McClary's acetate and V8 juice agars, at 21 ° C for 16 days. Heat resistance of cells was determined in 0.06 M potassium phosphate buffer at 48 ° C. Heat-stressed cells were plated on four recovery media: yeast extract-malt extract-peptone-glucose (YMPG), pH 7.0; YMPG, pH 3.5; YMPG containing 6% NaCl, pH 7.0; and YMPG containing 20% sucrose, pH 7.0. The composition of sporulation medium influenced the extent of sporulation and the relative heat resistance of sporulating cells. One-day-old cells were the most sensitive to heat. The heat resistance of cells was generally increased as the incubation time was extended to 16 days. Heat treatment caused a greater increase in sensitivity to NaCl than to sucrose or acid pH in recovery media. Young cells were more sensitive to NaCl than were older cells.
