Abstract
Recent studies into the mechanisms of uptake of glucose and fructose in S. cerevisiae suggest the existence of at least two transport systems. Based on novel results from our work with glucose, fructose and sucrose, a model of multiple sugars uptake has been developed. This model utilizes a switching concept during the course of batch experiment, the consequences of which are discussed.
