Yeast adaptive response to acetic acid stress involves structural alterations and increased stiffness of the cell wall

Abstract This work describes a coordinate and comprehensive view on the time course of the alterations occurring at the level of the cell wall during adaptation of a yeast cell population to sudden exposure to a sub-lethal stress induced by acetic acid. Acetic acid is a major inhibitory compound in...
