RESUMO
Trehalose is responsible for the survival of anhydrobiotic organisms when under stress. Trehalose is a unique, non-reducing, extremely stable disaccharide which is able to protect proteins and membranes from damage caused freezing, high temperatures and dehydration. Yeasts accumulate large amounts of trehalose and constitue excellent models for studying the response of eurocaryotic cells to diverse stresses. The regulation of trehalose metabolism is reviwed and new technological applications for preservation of biological materials are discussed
