TABLE 2.
Respiration rates of strains grown on YP medium containing glucose
| Growth in the presence of: | O2 consumption (μl of O2 consumed/h/mg of dry mass)a
|
|
|---|---|---|
| Wild typeb | KlsdhΔ | |
| Glucose | 45 | 56 |
| Lactate | 31 | 3.6 (57.6)c |
| Ethanol | 90 | 68.4 |
a
Strains were grown on YP medium containing glucose until late exponential phase, starved for 24 h, and then shifted on glucose, lactate, and ethanol. All values represent the average of three independent experiments. In no case was the variation greater than 15%.
b
Strain MW179-1D.
c
The value in parentheses represents oxygen consumption after the addition of glucose to the sample.
