✦ Synopsis

Unlike other yeasts so far investigated, the D-glucose carrier of Candida utilis (strain NCYC 737) appears to change affinity for D-glucose according to its exogenous concentration. When the concentration of D-glucose was less than 0.4 mM, the apparent Km approximately 0.2 mM; at greater than 0.4 mM, the Km approximately 10 mM.
