Article Synopsis
- Stationary-phase cultures of the yeast Candida utilis show heat resistance at 50°C in light-dark cycles, indicating a potential circadian-like rhythm influenced by light.
- In continuous darkness, this heat resistance pattern is weakened, suggesting environmental factors play a role in rhythm maintenance.
- The resistance is likely an adaptive response to light-induced reactive oxygen species rather than a true endogenous circadian rhythm, similar to findings in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe.
