✦ Synopsis

Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells are able to grow using trehalose as a sole source of carbon and energy. However, the biomass yield obtained with trehalose was higher, and the specific growth rate lower, than that obtained with glucose or maltose. The respiratory inhibitor antimycin A prevented cell growth on trehalose, and no ethanol or glycerol was formed during batch growth on this carbon source. Thus, S. cerevisiae exhibits the KLUYVER effect for trehalose: this disaccharide is assimilated and respired, but, in contrast to glucose or maltose, it cannot be fermented. The high-affinity trehalose-H + symporter encoded by the AGT1 gene is required for growth on trehalose. Analysis of the differences in the metabolism of maltose and trehalose (both disaccharides of glucose transported by active transport systems) indicated that the absence of trehalose fermentation is a consequence of low sugar influx into the cells during growth on this carbon source.

A simple, sensitive and nonlaborious enzyme-based method has been developed for determination of both trehalose and glycogen in yeast cells. The method is based on extraction of trehalose and glycogen into a \(40 \mathrm{~mm}\) acetate buffer ( \(\mathbf{p H} 4.8\) ) by mechanical disintegration of

Protoplasts of Saccharomyees cerevisiae synthesized and degraded trehalose when they were incubated in a medium containing traces of glucose and acetate. Such protoplasts were gently lyzed by the polybase method and a particulate and soluble fraction was prepared. Trehalose was found in the soluble

The addition of 0.1% caffeine to the plating medium markedly reduced the ozone-survival of the wild-type and the rad1 and rad6 mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, whereas no effect was observed in the rad52 mutant. Since, in S. cerevisiae, caffeine has been reported to interfere with the recombinat
