Abstract: | The study of the growth of the yeasts Rhodotorula rubra, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and Debaryomyces vanriji at elevated temperatures and their survival after transient lethal heat shock showed that the ability of these yeasts to grow at supraoptimal temperatures (i.e., their thermoresistance) and their ability to tolerate lethal heat shocks (i.e., their thermotolerance) are determined by different mechanisms. It is suggested that the thermotolerance of the yeasts is mainly determined by the division rate of cells before their exposure to heat shock. |
