However, its growth is impaired at high ethanol concentrations. Herein we report on the protein and intracellular metabolite profiles of K. marxianus at 1 and 4 h under ethanol exposure. The concentration of some amino acids, trehalose and ergosterol were also measured. We observed that proteins and metabolites from carbon pathways and translation were less abundant, mainly at 4 h of ethanol stress. Nevertheless, the concentration of some amino acids and trehalose increased at 8 and 12 h under ethanol stress, indicating an adaptive response. Moreover, our results show that the abundance of proteins and metabolites related to the oxidative stresses responses increased. The results obtained in this study provide insights into understanding the physiological changes in K. marxianus under ethanol stress, indicating possible targets for ethanol tolerant strains construction.pdfengSpringer Nature Switzerland AGAmino acidsTrehaloseErgosterolMembrane permeabilityLactoseArtigo
