Abstract
Summary and Conclusions
The synthesis of carbohydrate from glucose by resting yeast is completely inhibited by M/1000 2:4-dinitrophenol. Fermentation, however, is markedly stimulated, while respiration appears to be unaffected. Both synthesis and respiration are inhibited by M/10,000 sodium azide, but a portion of the alcohol formed by fermentation of the glucose is later oxidized. Higher concentrations of azide also inhibit the oxidation of alcohol, thus permitting the accumulation of alcohol as an end product of the utilization of glucose.
