The present study deals with the complete reversion of the utilizability of an otherwise nonutilizable L-amino acid herein L-lysine in Saccharomyces cerevisiae NCIM 3558 on complexation with chromium sulfate hexahydrate. It is observed for the first time that following complexation of all the inhibitory effect of L-lysine on yeast is completely reversed, and the detailed mechanism is discussed and the mechanism of action is dealt in detail.References
