The aim of the study was to investigate the role of trehalose in ethanol induced oxidative stress
condition in yeast Pachysolen tannophilus. The laboratory experiments were carried out during 2009 and 2010
at the Yeast Stress Response Study Laboratory of Biochemistry Department in Panjab University at
Chandigarh, India. R esistance of the yeast Pachysolen tannophilus to ethanol stress was studied under 10%
(v/v) ethanol concentrations for different time periods (0, 60 and 120 min). After treating cells with ethanol,
samples were taken to study the level of trehalose, ROS, Protein carbonyl content, lipid peroxidation and
glutathione. A markedly increase in trehalose content after ethanol stress was observed. The increased level
of protein carbonyl content, ROS generation and lipid peroxidation and decreased reduced/total glutathione
ratio, viability in ethanol stressed cells shows the roles of oxidative stress in ethanol toxicity in yeast. The
positive correlation between oxidative damage and trehalose shows the protective role of trehalose in oxidative
stress conditions generated by the ethanol.
Key words: Ethanol stress, glutathione, oxidative stress, Pachysolen tannophilus, protein carbonyl, trehalose,
