Abstract
Heat stress tolerance was examined in the thermophilic enteric yeast A rxiozyma telluris. Heat shock acquisition of thermotolerance and synth esis of heat shock proteins hsp 104, hsp 90, hsp 70, and hsp 60 were i nduced by a mild heat shock at temperatures from 35 to 40 degrees C fo r 30 min. The results demonstrate that a yeast which occupies a specia lized ecological niche exhibits a typical heat shock response.
