β¦ Synopsis
The methylation of several tin compounds by strains of Succhuromyces cerevisiue strains (yeast) is described. The production of the methyl tin species was established by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. Monomethyl tin (IV) products dominated but some dimethyl tin products were observed, This appears to be the first report of a tin methylation by a pure strain of a methylating species rather than a complex mixture ob- tained from an environmental source.

Physiological studies of Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains harboring the MEL1 gene were carried out in aerobic batch cultivations on glucose-galactose mixtures and on the disaccharide melibiose, which is hydrolyzed by the enzyme melibiase (Mel1, EC 3.2.1.22) into a glucose and a galactose moiety. The
