Summary
The inductive effect of lactose, β-methyl-thio-D-galactopyranoside, (TMG) and glucose on β galactosidase synthesis in Kluyveromyces lactis has been studied. Whereas TMG gave a five fold stimulation of the rate of β-galactosidase synthesis, lactose only gave a small stimulation. Glucose caused represssion at levels above 10-3M but stimulated β-galactosidase synthesis when added at lower concentrations.
