The functional significance of Hsp12p and trehalose in desiccation and oxidative stress in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

The preservation of yeast viability and vitality during storage in the desiccated state is fundamental as several industrial processes utilise this technology. The significance of the stress response protein and putative hydrophilin, Hsp 12p, was therefore examined in vivo under desiccation conditions.
