The influence of the preparation of mucolytic enzymes obtained from the culture liquid filtrate of Actinomyces griseinus on the yeast Candida guilliermondii was investigated. Lipids, hydrocarbons and proteins were extracted and free amino acids were separated from the biomass made of disrupted yeast cells. The extract contained 73% of cytoplasmic substances whereas normal yeast (enzymically untreated) contain on the average 13.7%. Lipids and hydrocarbons were measured.
