[Yeast] measuring respiration in cerevisiae

[peter.mastrangelo from utoronto.ca]

   Dear Everyone,

   can anyone tell me if there is a way to monitor respiration in  
yeast at any giving moment in a culture preferably using a  
colourametric assay?  What I want to demonstrate is that certain  
carbon sources in yeast media induce more respiration than others,  
glucose vs. glycerol/lactate for example.  A related question is  
whether there is a respiration index for different carbon sources in  
yeast?

   Thanks,

   Peter
