Active transport activities of free B-6 vitamers in 35 strains of 8 genera of yeast were measured by isocratic reverse-phase HPLC. Many but not all strains transported pyridoxamine and/or pyridoxine. The active transport activities in some yeast strains tested were completely inhibited by amiloride (0.5 mM). In contrast to cells so far studied, yeast cells showed a novel character in metabolism of accumulated B-6 vitamers: the phosphorylation of the free B-6 vitamers was regulated at a low level. There was no apparent correlation between the presence of the active transport activity in yeasts and the requirement of vitamin B-6 for their growth.
