Abstract excerpt
The fermentation process offers a wide variety of stressors for yeast, such as temperature, aging, and ethanol. To evaluate a possible beneficial effect of trehalose on ethanol production, we used mutant strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae possessing different deficiencies in the metabolism of this disaccharide: in synthesis, tps1; in transport, agt1; and in degradation, ath1 and nth1. According to our results,...
