Trehalose is a nonreducing disaccharide composed of two glucose molecules linked by α, α‐
1, 1‐glycosidic bond. It is present in a wide variety of organisms, including bacteria, fungi …

Environmental stresses are usually active during the process of microbial fermentation and
have significant influence on microbial physiology. Microorganisms have developed a series …

Life is resilient because living systems are able to respond to elevated temperatures with an
ancient gene expression program called the heat shock response (HSR). In yeast, the …

Diverse organisms capable of surviving desiccation, termed anhydrobiotes, include species
from bacteria, yeast, plants, and invertebrates. However, most organisms are sensitive to …

In industrial settings and processes, yeasts may face multiple adverse environmental
conditions. These include exposure to non-optimal temperatures or pH, osmotic stress, and …

The ability to switch a gene from off to on and monitor dynamic changes provides a powerful
approach for probing gene function and elucidating causal regulatory relationships. Here …

Histone acetylations are important epigenetic markers for transcriptional activation in
response to metabolic changes and various stresses. Using the high-throughput …

Acquired stress resistance is the result of mild stress causing the acquisition of resistance to
severe stress of the same or a different type. The mechanism of “same-stress” resistance …

Despite the impressive gain in agricultural production and greater availability of food, a large
portion of the world population is affected by food shortages and nutritional imbalance. This …

Adaptation to altered osmotic conditions is a fundamental property of living cells and has
been studied in detail in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Yeast cells accumulate …
