Abstract
The content of trehalose is widely believed to be a major determinant of stress resistance in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. A neutral trehalase gene, NTH1, is involved in trehalose degradation and TPS1 encoding trehalose biosynthesis enzyme is improtant to trehalose accumulation in S. cerevisiae. In this research, the responses of two engineering strains, the deletion of NTH1 (Anth1) and overexpression TPS1 (Δnth1 + TPS1), were investigated to freezing stresses. High trehalose accumulation and growth activity were observed in Δnth1 + TPS1 strain after freezing stress induction. Our results indicated that high trehalose accumulation can make yeast cells resistant freezing stress. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2014.
