In many organisms, trehalose acts as protective metabolite against harsh environmental
stresses, such as freezing, drought, nutrient starvation, heat and salt. Herein a cDNA …

Trehalose biosynthesis in living organisms takes places by several known pathways.
However, the type of pathway depends on the type of stress affecting the organism …

Trehalose is a ubiquitous disaccharide not only in fungi but also in different classes of
prokaryots, plants and animals [1]. This non-reducing disaccharide has, like its vegetal …

The disaccharide trehalose is widely distributed in nature and can be found in many
organisms, including bacteria, fungi, plants, invertebrates and mammals. Due to its particular …

Moderate osmolality can stimulate bacterial growth at temperatures near the upper limit for
growth. We investigated the mechanism by which high osmolality enhances the …

Trehalose is a reducing disaccharide, acting as a protectant against various environmental
stresses in numerous organisms. In plants, trehalose-6-phosphate synthase (TPS) plays a …

Isolated from desert, the nitrogen-fixing bacterium Ensifer aridi LMR001 is capable of
survival under particularly harsh environmental conditions. To obtain insights in molecular …

Background The compatible solute trehalose is a non-reducing disaccharide, which
accumulates upon heat, cold or osmotic stress. It was commonly accepted that trehalose is …

Gluconobacter strains are specialized in the incomplete oxidation of monosaccharides. In
contrast, growth and product formation from disaccharides is either very low or impossible. A …

Trehalose is an enigmatic compound that accumulates in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and
has been implicated in survival under various stress conditions by acting as membrane …
