Glucose Transport in Crabtree-positive and Crabtree-negative Yeasts

Abstract: The kinetic parameters of glucose transport in four Crabtree-positive and four Crabtreenegative yeasts were determined. The organisms were grown in aerobic glucose-limited chemostats at a dilution rate of 0.1 h-l . The results show a clear correlation between the presence of high-affinity glucose transport systems and the absence of aerobic fermentation upon addition of excess glucose to steady-state cultures. The presence of these H+-symport systems could be established by determination of intracellular accum… Show more

“…However, the decrease in biomass and ethanol concentrations at 42 h and 18 h, respectively, and the increased cell masses which were maintained after 12 h in Figures 1 and 2 could be indicative of glucose limitation which may be synonymous with the crabtree effect; this cannot be ascertained at this stage [40,41]. The slow conversion of the reducing sugar was also observed with yeast extract as the nutrient source.…”

“…Sugar transport in these yeasts is an energy-requiring process since such cells accumulate the non-metabolizable analogue 6-deoxyglucose (Table 2; Van Urk et al 1989a). In Crabtree-positive yeasts on the other hand, transport of glucose occurs via facilitated diffusion and 6-deoxyglucose is not accumulated.…”

“…O 2 and CO 2 concentrations were determined with a Rosemount NGA2000 analyser. Determination of the exhaust gas flow rate and calculation of specific rates of CO 2 production and O 2 consumption were performed as described previously (van Urk et al, 1988;Weusthuis et al, 1994).…”
