Physiological basis for the high salt tolerance of Debaryomyces hansenii
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted on the influence of LiCl, KCl and NaCl on the growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Debaromyces hansenii. Results show that LuCl has a specific inhibitory influence on Debaryomyces hansenii and that the effects of KCl and NaCl on the halotolerant yeast were the same. Results also indicate that Sacchomyces cerevisiae metabolism is more sensitive to intracellular Na+ than the metabolism of Debaryomyces hensenii.

Transport and utilization of hexoses and pentoses in the halotolerant yeast Debaryomyces hansenii
Article Abstract:
Debaryomyces hansenii has a low-affinity facilitated diffusion system for transporting hexoses and pentoses as well as two high-affinity transport systems. The bacterium grows more slowly on pentoses than on hexoses but biomass yields were similar.

L-[U-(super 14)C] lactate binding to a 43 kDa protein in plasma membranes of Candida utilis
Article Abstract:
Researchers describe the properties of a possible lactate transporter protein in Candida utilis. A 43 kDa polypeptide was isolated from cells grown on lactic acid but not from cells grown on glucose.
