The ability to adapt to altered availability of free water is a fundamental property of living
cells. The principles underlying osmoadaptation are well conserved. The yeast …

The yeast cell wall is a strong, but elastic, structure that is essential not only for the
maintenance of cell shape and integrity, but also for progression through the cell cycle …

The yeast cell wall is a highly dynamic structure that is responsible for protecting the cell
from rapid changes in external osmotic potential. The wall is also critical for cell expansion …

The cell wall of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is an elastic structure that provides osmotic and
physical protection and determines the shape of the cell. The inner layer of the wall is largely …

An extracellular matrix composed of a layered meshwork of β-glucans, chitin, and
mannoproteins encapsulates cells of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This organelle …

In this review, we discuss new insights in cell wall architecture and cell wall construction in
the ascomycetous yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Transcriptional profiling studies …

The cells of organisms as diverse as bacteria and humans can enter stable, nonproliferating
quiescent states. Quiescent cells of eukaryotic and prokaryotic microorganisms can survive …

Fungal pathogens form biofilms that are highly recalcitrant to antimicrobial therapy. The
expression of multidrug resistance pumps in young biofilms has been linked to increased …

Far more than a simple update and revision, the Handbook of Food Spoilage Yeasts,
Second Edition extends and restructures its scope and content to include important …

In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, environmental stress conditions that damage the
cell wall lead to activation of the so-called" compensatory mechanism," aimed at preserving …
