Article

Summary

The enzyme data presented here support the view that in Saccharomyces cerevisiae the flux of carbon through the glycolytic pathway is greater under nitrogen limiting than under nitrogen excess growth conditions. Enzyme data also suggest that conditions which stimulate the glycolytic pathway depress the flow of carbon through the hexose monophosphate pathway and vice versa.
