✦ Synopsis
An investigation of the physiological effects of phenethyl alcohol (PEA) on exponentially growing yeast cells is reported. RNA, DNA, protein and aminoimidazole ribotide syntheses and glucose uptake and incorporation are inhibited by PEA at concentrations of 0.1% to 0.3%. Two classes of response curves are found and the sensitivities of processes in each class to PEA differ. Glucose incorporation and RNA synthesis are the most sensitive processes in their respective classes. The effects of PEA at 0.3% or less. are largely or completely reversible. It is deduced that PEA inhibits intracellular processes as well as the cell membrane.
