Abstract:The stability of spheroplasts from the osmotrophic yeast
Saccharomyces rouxii
was studied in buffered solutions of mannitol and glucose. The plasma membranes from cells grown in high glucose concentrations were more stable to osmotic lysis than were membranes from cells grown in lower glucose concentrations. Mannitol was a better osmotic stabilizer than glucose, except when the cells were grown in a high glucose concentration. Spheroplasts from a glucose tolerant-deficient mutant were m… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
