Abstract excerpt
A barotolerant mutant of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and its parent were compared with respect to the barotolerance of each strain, intracellular content of trehalose, amounts of three major heat shock proteins (hsps), relative proportion of unsaturated and saturated fatty acids in membrane phospholipids, and membrane fluidity. Changes in the amount of trehalose, but not hsps, were associated with changes in the...
