Phenotypic features of trehalase mutants in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Abstract excerpt

In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, some studies have shown that trehalose and its hydrolysis may play an important physiological role during the life cycle of the cell. Recently, other studies demonstrated a close correlation between trehalose levels and tolerance to heat stress, suggesting that trehalose may be a protectant which contributes to thermotolerance. We had reported lack of correlation between...
