Abstract excerpt
The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae produces large amounts of glycerol as an osmoregulator during hyperosmotic stress and as a redox sink at low oxygen availability. NAD(+)-dependent glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase in S. cerevisiae is present in two isoforms, coded for by two different genes, GPD1 and GPD2. Mutants for either one or both of these genes were investigated under carefully controlled static and...
