Abstract excerpt
Mixtures of D-glucosamine and glucose were used to slow the growth of wild-type and whi2 mutant strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae without affecting the level of catabolite repression. The following observations were made. Firstly, mutant cells were found to be partially resistant to the inhibitory effect of glucosamine. Secondly, slow growth induced by glucosamine resulted in cells becoming larger, in direct...
