The article concerns two main topics: 1. Assessment of viability and metabolic competence of yeast by the acidification power test (AP test), its biochemical background, conditions of its use and its development since its introduction, and 2. The way in which the metabolic competence of pitching yeast, and hence the results of the AP test, can be affected by, e.g., the yeast growth phase and the status of the multidrug resistance system (MDR) which underlies the ability of cells to cope with chemical stress caused by xenobiotics. The AP test developed and patented by Opekarová and Sigler, and used by them for the first time to assess the metabolic...
