Could someone provide an overview of this phenomena and/or references?
None of my numerous Biochem texts mention this anywhere.
Basically, I have been told that S. cer. growing under aerobic
conditions with glucose (0.4% or greater) will actually meet their
energy requirements by fermentation and *not* carrying out
respiration. Sounds bogus to me...but what do I know, I'm a plant
guy!
Thanks!
