I have read one of your pages which talks about the different saccharides and metabolism of them. The breakdown of Sucrose gives fructose and glucose. As stated on this page, fructose is already part way through glycolysis. Does the initial breakdown of the sucrose take up the same amount of time that is saved by producing fructose? Which is quicker - sucrose metabolism or glucose metabolism? Specifically saccharomyces cerevisiae if poss. Thankyou very much.
Re: Would saccharomyces cerevisiae breakdown sucrose or glucose faster?
