Abstract

Analysis of seventeen yeast strains by ¹³C-NMR spectroscopy has confirmed the significance of glycerol as the sole osmoregulatory solute under salt-stressed conditions, and has shown arabitol to be present in most of the osmotolerant species. Ribitol was detected in some species, including Debaryomyces hansenii, although ribitol accumulation did not correlate with the osmotic pressure of the medium. Relative amounts of arabitol and ribitol decreased in relation to glycerol when the external osmotic pressure was increased. Trehalose was present during exponential growth of some species.
