چکیده

The influence of different yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) cellular fractions was studied in an attempt to gain knowledge on the feasibility of trehalose crystallization in yeast cells. Certain constituents of S. cerevisiae cells inhibited/delayed trehalose crystallization upon humidification at high relative humidities.

Effects of trehalose and ethanol on yeast cytosolic pyrophosphatase.

Trehalose has been described to protect several enzymes against destabilizing conditions. This sugar is naturally accumulated by yeast as a stress protectant. A common stress condition that yeast is normally submitted is the presence of ethanol, the by-product of fermentation process of several yeast. In this paper we show the effects of trehalose and ethanol, alone or together, on yeast pyroph...

Protective role of trehalose in thermal denaturation of yeast pyrophosphatase.

Trehalose, a disaccharide of glucose, is accumulated in yeast cytosol when this organism is submitted to a stress condition. Recently it was shown that the level of trehalose increase up to 15 times when yeast cells are submitted to heat shock (De Virgilio et al., 1991). In this report we give evidence how trehalose may play an important role on the stress-survival of yeasts when submitted to a...

Trehalose protects yeast pyrophosphatase against structural and functional damage induced by guanidinium chloride.

Trehalose is accumulated at very high concentrations in yeasts when this organism is submitted to a stress condition. This report approaches the question on the protective effect of trehalose and its degradation product, glucose, against structural and functional damage promoted by guanidinium on yeast cytosolic pyrophosphatase. Here it is shown that both, 1 M trehalose or 2 M glucose, are able...

Internal trehalose protects endocytosis from inhibition by ethanol in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Endocytosis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is inhibited by concentrations of ethanol of 2 to 6% (vol/vol), which are lower than concentrations commonly present in its natural habitats. In spite of this inhibition, endocytosis takes place under enological conditions when high concentrations of ethanol are present. Therefore, it seems that yeast has developed some means to circumvent the inhibition....

Neural Observer to Trehalose Estimation

These It is generally accepted in yeast production industry that intracellular trehalose is an indicator of yeast fermentation capacity and viability. The disaccharide trehalose is a cytoplasmic compound, so it must be quantified after extraction by means of an off-line analytical method during a biomass production process. Thus, knowing experimental determinations of yeast trehalose content is...
