The biosynthesis of trehalose has been previously shown to serve as an important
osmoprotectant and stress protectant in Escherichia coli. Our results indicate that …

Endogenously synthesized trehalose is a stress protectant in Escherichia coli. Externally
supplied trehalose does not serve as a stress protectant, but it can be utilized as the sole …

The current knowledge of trehalose biosynthesis under stress conditions is incomplete and
needs further research. Since trehalose finds industrial and pharmaceutical applications …

It has been reported previously that Escherichia coli K-12 carries an amber mutation that
prevents osmotic stress-dependent accumulation of trehalose (ML Rod, KY Alam, PR …

Trehalose accumulation is a common cell defense strategy against a variety of stressful
conditions. In particular, our team detected high levels of trehalose in Propionibacterium …

Escherichia coli can synthesize trehalose in response to osmotic stress and is able to utilize
trehalose as a carbon source. The pathway of trehalose utilization is different at low and …

It has been shown previously that Escherichia coli accumulates endogenously synthesized
trehalose under osmotic stress. We report here that E. coli contained an osmotically …

Natural abundance 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy identified the
disaccharide trehalose as the major organic osmolyte synthesized by Escherichia coli grown …

Trehalose accumulates dramatically in microorganisms during heat shock and osmotic
stress and helps protect cells against thermal injury and oxygen radicals. Here we …

The disaccharide trehalose acts as an osmoprotectant as well as a carbon source in
Escherichia coli. At high osmolarity of the growth medium, the cells synthesize large …
