The Protein Response of Salt-Tolerant Zygosaccharomyces rouxii to High-Temperature Stress during the Lag Phase.

ABSTRACT: Zygosaccharomyces rouxii used in soy sauce brewing is an osmotolerant and halotolerant yeast, but it is not tolerant to high temperatures and the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Using a synthetic medium containing only Pro as a nitrogen source, the response of Z. rouxii in protein level to high-temperature stress (40 °C, HTS) during the lag phase was investigated. Within the first two h, the total intracellular protein concentration was significantly decreased from 220.99 ± 6.58 μg/mg DCW to 152.63 ± 10.49 μg/mg DCW. The analysis of the amino acid composition of the total protein through vacuum proteolysis technology and HPLC showed that new amino acids (Thr, Tyr, Ser, and His) were added to newborn protein over time during the lag phase under HTS.
