TABLE 3.

Effect of pH on the growth of S. cerevisiae at different ammonium concentrations

(NH4+ + NH3) concentration (mM) Doubling time (min) at pH:a
5.5 6.5 7.5 8.0
7 165 165 220 420b
70 165 170 1,200b NGc
a

Cells were grown in medium 164 with glucose (3%) as the carbon source and ammonium as the sole nitrogen source. At pH values of 7.5 and 8.0, 50 mM Tris was added to the medium for buffering. The wild-type strain was 23344c. 

b

Initial doubling time. 

c

NG, no growth.
