Among the mechanisms that underlie the inhibition by alkanols of growth and fermentation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the noncompetitive exponential inhibition of nutrient transport across the plasma membrane may play a major role. So far this type of inhibition was shown to affect the transport systems of S. cerevisiae for glucose, maltose, and ammonium. The effects of ethanol, isopropanol, propanol, and butanol on the functioning of the general amino acid permease (GAP) of S. cerevisiae are reported.
