Résumé

Experiments exposing Saccharomyces cerevisiae to glucose limitation (calorie restriction) are widely used to determine impacts on cell health as a model for aging. Using growth on plates and in liquid culture, we demonstrated that calorie restriction reduces fitness in subsequent nutrient-limited environments. Yeast grown in a calorie-restricted environment took longer to emerge from the lag phase, had an extended doubling time and had a lower percentage of culturability. Cells grown under moderate calorie restriction were able to withstand a gradual heat stress in a similar manner to cells grown without calorie restriction but fared less well with a sudden heat shock. Yeast grown under extreme calorie restriction were less fit when exposed to gradual heating or heat shock. Using RNAseq analysis, we provide novel insight into the mechanisms underlying this response, showing that in the absence of calorie restriction, genes whose products are involved in energy metabolism (glycolysis/gluconeogenesis and the citrate cycle) are predominantly overexpressed when yeasts were exposed to gradual heating, whereas this was not the case when they were exposed to shock. We show that both the culture history and the current environment must be considered when assaying physiological responses, and this has wider implications when developing strategies for the propagation, preservation or destruction of microbial cells.
