Abstract: | The adaptive response of the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica to the oxidative stress induced by the oxidants hydrogen peroxide, menadione, and juglone has been studied. H2O2, menadione, and juglone completely inhibited yeast growth at concentrations higher than 120, 0.5, and 0.03 mM, respectively. The stationary-phase yeast cells were found to be more resistant to the oxidants than the exponential-phase cells. The 60-min pretreatment of logarithmic-phase cells with nonlethal concentrations of H2O2 (0.3 mM), menadione (0.05 mM), and juglone (0.005 mM) made the cells more resistant to high concentrations of these oxidants. The adaptation of yeast cells to H2O2, menadione, and juglone was associated with an increase in the activity of cellular catalase, superoxide dismutase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, and glutathione reductase, the main enzymes involved in cell defense against oxidative stress. |
