Regulation of beta-exoglucanase activity production by Saccharomyces cerevisiae in batch and continuous culture.
The rate of synthesis and secretion of exo-1-3-beta-glucanase activity closely paralleled the specific rate of growth in exponentially growing Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells in batch culture. When the stationary phase was reached both synthesis and secretion stopped. No activity was synthesized when the cells were maintained in carbon sources that did not allow them to grow. Studies in continuous culture indicate a strong relationship between the synthesis of exoglucanase activity and the specific growth rate. These results are taken as evidence of an essential role of this activity during the yeast budding cycle.
