Abstract
O estudo do efeito da complexidade estrutural da fonte de nitrogênio no transporte de amônio em Saccharomyces cerevisiae foi realizado cultivando-se o microrganismo em um meio mínimo contendo glicose e fontes de nitrogênio, variando de um simples sal de amônio (sulfato de amônio) a aminoácidos livres (casaminoácidos) e peptídeos (peptona). O transporte de amônio foi avaliado acompanhando-se a entrada do análogo metilamônio, utilizando duas metodologias diferentes: transporte de metilamônio radioativo e efluxo de potássio acoplado ao transporte de metilamônio em células crescidas em diferentes condições de cultivo. A cinética de transporte de amônio é detectada nos meios contendo peptona e amônio e não no meio suplementado com casaminoácidos, e o transporte medido em diferentes fases de crescimento sugere que o processo é mais estável em células crescidas em peptona. Os resultados descritos neste trabalho indicam que a complexidade estrutural interfere com a expressão do transportador do íon amônio e que a complementação do meio de cultura com uma fonte de nitrogênio na forma de peptídeos é a mais eficiente não só para a expressão do transportador de amônio, mas também de conferir maior estabilidade ao processo.
