3 Yeast Metabolism Metabolism refers to the biochemical assimilation (in anabolic pathways) and dissimilation (in catabolic pathways) of nutrients by a cell. Like in other organisms‚ in yeast these processes are mediated by enzymic reactions‚ and regulation of the underlying pathways have been studied in great detail in yeast. Anabolic pathways include reductive processes leading to the production of new cellular material‚ while catabolic pathways are oxidative processes which remove electrons

Introduction The dynamic role of small scale business in developing countries has long been recognized (Kayanula and Quartey‚ 2000). These small scale businesses can serve as engines through which the economic growth and employment objectives of developing countries can be achieved. However‚ for many years these rural enterprises have failed to grow beyond their micro enterprise nature and sometimes at best their small or medium size (Kayanula and Quartey‚ 2000). It is believed that private small
