[The metabolism of trehalose and intracellular glycerol in Candida krusei responding to high osmosis].
The trehalose and intracellular glycerol contents of osmotolerant yeast Candida krusei cells rapidly increased in response to the medium containing NaCl. Addition of NaCl at early exponential phase or steady phase increased trehalose content only, but the content of extracellular glycerol increased gradually. Development of resistance was accompanied by accumulation of trehalose and was apparently unrelated to intracellular glycerol content which was always low under these conditions. There seems to be an overlap function between trehalose and glycerol in Candida krusei cells in response to the osmotic conditions.
