## Abstract Yeasts are often exposed to variations in osmotic pressure in their natural environments or in their substrates when used in fermentation industries. Such changes may lead to cell death or activity loss. Previous work by our team has allowed us to relate the mortality of cells exposed t
Fluidity as a prominent feature of the phospholipid portion of biological membranes, as well as of model phospholipid bilayer systems, has been detected by numerous physical techniquesl). However, correlation of this fluidity with biological functions of membranes is, as yet, documented in only a fe
