Abstract

A microcalorimetric method using a Tian-Calvet apparatus was utilized for measuring the Km and Vmax of intact yeast cells for some carbohydrate substrates. These values were obtained for fructose, galactose, and maltose. The heats of ethanolic fermentations were also directly determined, and the results were very close to those obtained by using theoretical calculations and standard values.
