Abstract
Direct measurements of membrane fluidity by fluorescence anisotropy of protoplasts from Kloeckera apiculwa and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a l ow and a high ethanol tolerant strain respectively, are presented. The comparison of the behaviour of the two strains grown with or without ethanol enabled us to demonstrate the existing relationship between et hanol tolerance and membrane fluidity.
