Inhibition of trehalose crystallization by cytoplasmic yeast components.
The influence of different yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) cellular fractions was studied in an attempt to gain knowledge on the feasibility of trehalose crystallization in yeast cells. Certain constituents of S. cerevisiae cells inhibited/delayed trehalose crystallization upon humidification at high relative humidities.
