Recovery of Saccharomyces cerevisiae from ethanol-induced growth inhibition

Creator:

Walker, Helen M. (Helen Marguerite), 1961-

Abstract:

Ethanol caused altered mobility of the lipophylic probe, 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene in plasma membrane preparations of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Because lipids had been shown to protect yeast against ethanol toxicity, sterols, fatty acids, proteins, and combinations of these were tested, but protection from growth inhibition was not seen. Ethanol-induced prolonged lag periods and...
