In yeasts, pyruvate is located at a major junction of assimilatory and dissimilatory reactions
as well as at the branch‐point between respiratory dissimilation of sugars and alcoholic …

In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, reduction of NAD+ to NADH occurs in dissimilatory as well as
in assimilatory reactions. This review discusses mechanisms for reoxidation of NADH in this …

PC (pyruvate carboxylase) is a biotin-containing enzyme that catalyses the HCO3−-and
MgATP-dependent carboxylation of pyruvate to form oxaloacetate. This is a very important …

Malic acid is a potential biomass-derivable “building block” for chemical synthesis. Since
wild-type Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains produce only low levels of malate, metabolic …

The network structure and the metabolic fluxes in central carbon metabolism were
characterized in aerobically grown cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The cells were grown …

Sugars are excellent carbon sources for all yeasts. Since a vast amount of information is
available on the components of the pathways of sugar utilization in Saccharomyces …

Pyruvate carboxylase (PC; EC 6.4. 1.1), a member of the biotin-dependent enzyme family,
catalyses the ATP-dependent carboxylation of pyruvate to oxaloacetate. PC has been found …

Chemically defined media for yeast cultivation (CDMY) were developed to support fast
growth, experimental reproducibility, and quantitative analysis of growth rates and biomass …

Background One of the most fascinating properties of the biotechnologically important
organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae is its ability to perform simultaneous respiration and …

This text emphasises the importance of staying informed about Saccharomyces cerevisiae
as it provides the intellectual basis for much of the molecular and cellular biology of …
