Regulation of trehalose, a typical stress protectant, on central metabolisms, cell growth and division of Saccharomyces cerevisiae CEN.PK113-7D. Food Microbiol. 2020 Aug;89:103459 Authors: Zhang X, Zhang Y, Li H Abstract Trehalose could protect the typical food microorganism Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell against environmental stresses; however, the other regulation effects of trehalose on yeast cells during the fermentation are still poorly understood. In this manuscript, different concentrations (i.e., 0, 2 and 5% g/v) of trehalose were respectively added into the medium to evaluate the effect of trehalose on growth, central metabolisms and division of S. cerevisiae CEN.PK113-7D strain that could uptake exogenous trehalose. Results indicated that addition of trehalose could inhibit yeast cell growth in the presence or absence of 8% v/v ethanol stress. Exogenous trehalose inhibited the glucose transporting efficiency and reduced intracellular glucose content. Simultaneously, increased intracellular trehalose content destroyed the steady state of trehalose cycle and caused the imbalance between the upper glycolysis part and the lower part, thereby leading to the dysfunction of glycolysis and further inhibiting the normal yeast cell growth. Moreover, energy metabolisms were impaired and the ATP production was reduced by addition of trehalose. Finally, exogenous trehalose-associated inhibition on yeast cell growth and metabolisms delaye...
