Antifungal activity and mode of action of silver nano-particles on Candida albicans (2009, positive): “Trehalose can protect proteins and biological membranes from inactivation or denaturation caused by a variety of stress conditions, including desiccation, dehydration, heat, cold, oxidation, and toxic agents in yeast (Alvarez-Peral et al. 2002; Elbein et al. 2003).”
Exogenous trehalose alters Arabidopsis transcripts involved in cell wall modification, abiotic stress, nitrogen metabolism, and plant defense (2005, background): “Trehalose (1,1 a-D glucopyranosyl a-D-glucopyranoside) is an important storage carbohydrate and stress protectant in yeast, bacteria, and certain fungi (Elbein et al. 2003, Gancedo and Flores 2004, Goddijn and Smeekens 1998, Wingler 2002).”
The versatility and adaptation of bacteria from the genus Stenotrophomonas (2009, background): “These sugars often accumulate intracellularly and protect against various stresse”
