Characterization of a salt-induced DhAHP a gene coding for alkyl hydroperoxide reductase from the extremely halophilic yeast Debaryomyces hansenii

摘要

BackgroundDebaryomyces hansenii is one of the most salt tolerant species of yeast and has become a model organism for the study of tolerance mechanisms against salinity. The goal of this study was to identify key upregulated genes that are involved in its adaptation to high salinity.
