Trehalose accumulation enhances tolerance of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to acetic acid

Yoko Yoshiyama et al. J Biosci Bioeng. 2015 Feb.

Abstract

Trehalose confers protection against various environmental stresses on yeast cells. In this study, trehalase gene deletion mutants that accumulate trehalose at high levels showed significant stress tolerance to acetic acid. The enhancement of trehalose accumulation can thus be considered a target in the breeding of acetic acid-tolerant yeast strains.

Keywords: Acetic acids; Bioethanol production; Propionic acid; Saccharomyces cerevisiae; Stress tolerance; Trehalose accumulation.
