Abstract
A transformed yeast is disclosed, comprising at least one gene encoding neutral trehalase or trehalose-6-phosphate synthase which gene has been modified such that it differs from a corresponding wild-type gene encoding neutral trehalase or trehalose-6-phosphate synthase, the yeast having as a result a different trehalose content from the untransformed parent yeast. The sugar resistance and drying resistance of the yeast compared to those of the untransformed strain are thereby improved.
