Abstract excerpt
Trehalose is an enigmatic compound that accumulates in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and has been implicated in survival under various stress conditions by acting as membrane protectant, as a supplementary compatible solute or as a reserve carbohydrate that may be mobilized during stress. In this study, specific mutants in trehalose metabolism were used to evaluate whether trehalose contributes to survival under...
