title: [Distribution of potassium and sodium in the vacuole and cytoplasm of Saccharomyces cerevisiae].
abstract: In Na+ grown yeast cells the vacuole is the main Na+ reservoir, maintaining higher Na+/K+ ratios than those in the cytoplasm. This asymmetric distribution may enhance Na+ tolerance. However, in growing cells the effect is of low significance.
