Brewer's yeast previously cultured on either glucose or maltose as the sole source of carbohydrate has a period of exclusive utilization of glucose when grown on synthetic media containing glucose and maltose. Only when glucose has fallen to a low level does fermentation of maltose begin. This behaviour is thought to be due to an effect of glucose on the maltose permease.
