title: [Effects of cellobiose lipid B on Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells: K+ leakage and inhibition of polyphosphate accumulation].
abstract: Cellobiose lipid B, a natural fungicide produced by the yeast Pseudozyma fusiformata, induces the leakage of K+ and ATP from cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The presence of glucose decreases the effective concentration of cellobiose lipid B. The concentration of cellobiose lipid B was selected that results in a high rate of K+ leakage and a five- to sevenfold decrease in the intracellular ATP content, while the accumulation of acid-soluble polyphosphates decreased only by half. These results indicate the possibility of synthesis of these polymers independently of the ATP level and of the ion gradient on the plasma membrane.
