The response of three amino acid biosynthetic enzymes, threonine dehydratase, tyrosine aminotransferase and saccharopine dehydrogenase, to conditions of histidine, tryptophan or lysine limitation was investigated in 15 yeast species. The activities of all these enzymes increased about two‐ to fourfold as a result of action of the general control of amino acid biosynthesis in Brettanomyces anomalus. Candida maltasa, Hansemala polymarpa, Rhodosporidium toruloides, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Yarrowia lipolyilca . No evidence for the existence of the general control was found in Candida brumptii, Candida, utilis, Hansenula anomala, Hansemula henricii, Khuyveromyces marxianus, Pichia gulliermondii, Saccharomycopsn capsularis, Trichosporan adenino‐voranis and Trigonopsis variabilis .
