Abstract
Glucose prevents maltose utilization bySaccharomyces cerevisiae in batch culture, whereas in a mixed carbohydrate-limited chemostat, maltose and glucose were consumed simultaneously. The specific activity of α-glucosidase was dependent on the dilution rate as well as the proportion of maltose in the mixture. Maximum specific activities in the batch and chemostat cultures on mixtures of maltose and glucose were lower than corresponding values observed on maltose alone.
