The influence of colonial organization on thermotolerance and thermoresistance in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
In this study we show that thermotolerance and thermoresistance of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisae is enhanced when cells are in colonial condition. We also describe a method to select stable thermoresistant mutants which produce colonies from single plated cells at a temperature 2.5 degrees C higher than the maximum growth temperature of their parental strain.
