Glucose Uptake Rate by Saccharomyces Cerevisiae in the Presence of Promoters of Alcoholic Fermentation Using 14C-Labelled Glucose

The glucose uptake rate by Saccharomyces cerevisiae in various densities of glucose and molasses solutions was found to be about one third up to two fold higher in the presence of promoters -alumina and kissiris in comparison with their absence in the free cells. This study was accomplished by using ¹⁴C-labelled glucose, which is a convenient method.
