Notes:
Summary During the dehydration of exponentially growing yeast cells for 24 h at 37° C, a 2–3 fold increase in the activity of acid phosphatase was observed. This increase is inhibited by cycloheximide and 2-deoxy-D-glucose and therefore is indicative of de novo synthesis. The presence of exogenous orthophosphate during drying does not affect the specific activity of this enzyme, thus indicating the constitutive character of the newly formed acid phosphatase. Freeze-etching showed some rearrangement of the plasmalemma structure of yeast cells during dehydration.
