[Influence of fermentation inhibitors on the rate of glutathione accumulation by yeast during fermentation]

During incubation of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae in the sucrose medium fluorine ions inhibited fermentation and, consequently, reduced the rate of accumulation of SH-compounds, primarily as glutathione, in the medium. Ethanol inhibition of the fermentation resulted in the general degradation of metabolism of the yeast cell and an increase of the content of SH-compounds in the medium.
