Abstract
Heat shock acquisition of ethanol‐ and thermotolerance in Saccharomyces cerevisiae was not inhibited in cells incubated in the presence of cycloheximide or chloramphenicol. Respiratory‐deficient (ρ−) mutants also characteristically exhibited the heat shock response. It was concluded that mitochondrial and cytoplasmic protein syntheses are not required for heat shock acquisition of ethanol and thermotolerance in yeast.
