G.YR 1970 T1 Effects of Sodium Chloride on Steady-state Growth and Metabolism of Saccharomyces cerevisiae JF Microbiology, VO 64 IS 1 SP 91 OP 99 DO https://doi.org/10.1099/00221287-64-1-91 PB Microbiology Society, SN 1465-2080, AB SUMMARY: Sodium chloride decreased the maximum specific growth rate of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Chemostat experiments showed this to be largely due to an increased requirement for energy-yielding substrate, apparently linked to maintenance and leading to a decrease in the yield. The increased maintenance requirement is probably concerned with maintaining an intracellular Na+ concentration ten times lower than the extracellular concentration. NaCl caused much higher concentrations of glucose to be required to maintain any particular glucose-uptake rate; it also increased the production of glycerol., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/micro/10.1099/00221287-64-1-91
