Abstract excerpt
Yeast cells harboring a MAL2-8c gene accumulate trehalose during the transition phase of growth on glucose due to the presence of the ADPG-dependent trehalose 6-phosphate synthase. Under these conditions, glucokinase appeared not to provide G-6-P for trehalose synthesis and the two hexokinases seemed to act synergistically. After incubation in d-xylose, trehalose levels in these cells dropped almost in 90%,...
