The yeast Debaryomyces hansenii is usually found in salty environments such as the sea and salted food. It is capable of accumulating sodium without being intoxicated even when potassium is present at low concentration in the environment. In addition, sodium improves growth and protects D. hansenii in the presence of additional stress factors such as high temperature and extreme pH. An array of advantageous factors, as compared with Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is putatively involved in the increased halotolerance of D. hansenii: glycerol, the main compatible solute, is kept inside the cell by an active glycerol-Na+ symporter; potassium uptake is not inhibited by sodium; sodium protein targets in D. hansenii seem to be more resistant. The whole genome of D. hansenii has been sequenced and is now available at http://cbi.labri.fr/Genolevures/ and, so far, no genes specifically responsible for the halotolerant behaviour of D. hansenii have been found.
