^a Sugar amounts determined from the sum of starch and glucose in medium. Ethanol yield as g/g consumed sugar and % of theoretical maximum (0.56 g/g from starch^b or 0.51 g/g from glucose^c) indicated in brackets. S. cerevisiae F2 and F6 were studied in raw starch medium (20 g/L corn starch, 6.7 g/L yeast nitrogen base, 20 g/L peptone and 0.5 g/L glucose), soluble starch medium and glucose medium where the equivalent amount of raw starch was replaced with either soluble potato starch or glucose (Sigma).
