Abstract
Both added (49.6 g/l) and produced ethanol (46.2 g/l) caused an increa se in the acetic acid tolerance of Saccharomyces cerevisiae grown in a n anaerobic chemostat; added ethanol, however, to a less extent than p roduced ethanol. The ethanol induced acetic acid tolerance of the cell s was linked with an accumulation of trehalose within the cells. These results indicate that trehalose plays a role in the ethanol induced a cetic acid tolerance of S. cerevisiae.
