Halotolerant yeasts have been described as being able to grow in the presence of salt concentrations as high as 4 M NaCl, but yeasts can survive environments with higher salt concentrations like in salines. On the other hand, physiological mechanisms underlying extreme salttolerance in yeasts are still poorly understood. For this reason we selected Candida halophila from a salt stress resistance survey performe...
Glycerol has been shown to cross Saccharomyces cerevisiae plasma membrane (1) through a H+/symport detected in cells grown on non-fermentable carbon sources, (2) by passive diffusion and (3) through the constitutive Fps1p channel. This has been named a facilitator, for mediating glycerol low affinity transport of the facilitated diffusion type. We present experimental evidence that this kinetics is an artefact ...
