Abstract

Cirillo, Vincent P. (Seton Hall College of Medicine and Dentistry, Jersey City, N.J.). Sugar transport by Saccharomyces cerevisiae protoplasts. J. Bacteriol. 84:1251–1253. 1962.—By the use of Saccharomyces cerevisiae protoplasts, the l-sorbose transport mechanism has been associated with the protoplast membrane rather than the cell wall. The osmotic fragility of protoplasts in l-sorbose solutions shows that the transported sugar remains osmotically active.
