Abstract
Addition of Ca2+ increased 2 to 3-fold the growth of S. carlsbergensis 21 in a minimal glucose-containing medium. The minimal concentration enhancing growth was 25-50 .mu.g/ml CaCl2. Other divalent and trivalent cations tested, except for Sr2 ions, did not duplicate the Ca effect. Actively growing and dividing cells took up 45Ca2+, while resting yeast cells did not. The radiocalcium taken up was incorporated into newly synthesized structural material, presumably membrane protein.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
