Abstract
In this study the effects of M. flabellifolia polyphenols on growth of S. cerevisiae yeast strains was investigated. This study showed that M flabellifolia polyphenols inhibited growth of both the wild type and the Δhsp 12 yeast strains largely by binding protein in the growth medium. A decreased specific growth rate, reduced maximum biomass, and prolonged lag phase were observed for both strains.
