Abstract

Whole-cell attachment by covalent linkage, thereby simulating natural and specific attachments, improves the osmotolerance of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells. The enhanced osmoresistance is correlated with a decrease in the intercellular concentration of trehalose and accompanied by membrane compositional changed. The results obtained indicate that yeast cell-support (physical) contact is sensed and responded to.
