Abstract

In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, maltose is transported by a proton symport mechanism, whereas glucose transport occurs via facilitated diffusion. The energy requirement for maltose transport was evaluated with a metabolic model based on an experimental value of YATP for growth on glucose and an ATP requirement for maltose transport of 1 mol.mol-1. The predictions of the model were verified experimentally with anaerobic, sugar-limited chemostat cultures growing on a range of maltose-glucose mixtures at a fixed dilution rate of 0.1 h-1. The biomass yield (grams of cells.gram of sugar-1) decreased linearly with increasing amounts of maltose in the mixture. The yield was 25% lower during growth on maltose than during that on glucose, in agreement with the model predictions. During sugar-limited growth, the residual concentrations of maltose and glucose in the culture increased in proportion to their relative concentrations in the medium feed. From the residual maltose concentration, the in situ rates of maltose consumption by cultures, and the Km of the maltose carrier for maltose, it was calculated that the amount of this carrier was proportional to the in situ maltose consumption rate. This was also found for the amount of intracellular maltose. These two maltose-specific enzymes therefore exert high control over the maltose flux in S. cerevisiae in anaerobic, sugar-limited, steady-state cultures.
