The tolerance of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to high concentrations of bile acids is intricately linked to its potential as a probiotic. While the survival of yeast under high concentrations of bile acids has been demonstrated, the specific mechanisms of tolerance remain inadequately elucidated. This study aims to elucidate the tolerance mechanisms of S. cerevisiae CEN.PK2-1C under conditions of elevated bile acid concentrations. Through growth curve analyses and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), we examined the impact of high bile acid concentrations on yeast growth and cellular morphology. Additionally, transcriptomic sequencing and molecular docking analyses were employed to explore differentially expressed genes under high bile acid conditions, with particular emphasis on ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters and steroid hormone biosynthesis. Our findings indicate that high concentrations of bile acids induce significant alterations in the sterol synthesis pathway and transporter protein expression in S. cerevisiae. These alterations primarily function to regulate sterol synthesis pathways to maintain cellular structure and sustain growth, while enhanced expression of transport proteins improves tolerance to elevated bile acid levels. This study elucidates the tolerance mechanisms of S. cerevisiae under high bile acid conditions and provides a theoretical foundation for optimizing fermentation processes and process control.
