Trehalose protects Escherichia coli against carbon stress manifested by protein acetylation and aggregation

What is it about?

Trehalose is widely distributed in nature and is present in nearly all organisms, including bacteria, yeast, filamentous fungi, plants and invertebrates. We show for the first time that trehalose protects bacteria against carbon stress - the synthesis and storage of trehalose can prevent carbon overflow, which otherwise is manifested by protein acetylation and aggregation.
