Abstract excerpt

Pyruvate decarboxylase, PDCase, activity in wild-type yeast cells growing on ethanol is quite low but increases up to tenfold upon addition of glucose, less with galactose and only slightly with glycerol. PDCase levels in glycolysis mutant strains growing on ethanol or acetate were higher than in...
