Survival mechanism of a novel marine multistress-tolerant Meyerozyma guilliermondii GXDK6 under high NaCl stress as revealed by integrative omics analysis

A novel strain named Meyerozyma guilliermondii GXDK6 was provided in this work, which was confirmed to survive independently under high salt stress (12% NaCl) or co-stress condition of strong acid (pH 3.0) and high salts (10% NaCl) without sterilization. Its survival mechanism under high salt stress was revealed by integrated omics for the first time. Whole-genome analysis showed that 14 genes (e.g., GPD1 and FPS1) of GXDK6 relevant to salt tolerance were annotated and known to belong to various salt-resistant mechanisms (e.g., regulation of cell signal transduction and glycerol metabolism controls). Transcriptome sequencing results indicated that 1220 genes (accounting for 10.15%) of GXDK6 were differentially transcribed (p View larger version (36K): org.highwire.dtl.DTLVardef@7f2746org.highwire.dtl.DTLVardef@1eb6c19org.highwire.dtl.DTLVardef@105fd11org.highwire.dtl.DTLVardef@297d28_HPS_FORMAT_FIGEXP M_FIG C_FIG
