Abstract excerpt

Disruption of the gene pgil of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which codes for phosphoglucose isomerase, results in a dramatic increase in the amount of intracellular glycogen in early exponential cultures. The level of glucose 6-phosphate was much higher in mutant than in wild-type cells. Phosphorylas...
