An increase of biotin concentration in nutrient media increased the content of protein, phosphorus, total ribonucleic acids, activity of pyruvate carboxylase and isocitrate lyase in cells and decreased the content of trehalose, glycogen and respiratory quotient of yeast cells in the course of continuous cultivation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
