Abstract
The general problem of discovering the role of potassium (K) and sodium (Na) ions in cell metabolism and physiology has been investigated in many ways. The development by Conway and Moore (1954) of a yeast that had a reversed intracellular Na and K ion concentration opened a new approach to the investigation of Na and K effects on intermediary metabolism. This yeast with a Na and K ion reversal (i.e., a high Na and low K intracellular concentration) is called a sodium-rich yeast (Na-yeast).
