Production and balance of glycerol is essential for the survival of yeast cells in certain stressful conditions as hyperosmotic or cold shock that occur during industrial processes as winemaking. These stress responses are well-known  in S. cerevisiae , however, little is known in other phylogenetically close related  Saccharomyces  species associated with natural or fermentation environments such as  S. uvarum, S. paradoxus  or  S. kudriavzevii . In this work we have investigated the expression of four genes ( GPD1, GPD2, STL1 , and  FPS1 ) crucial in the glycerol pool balance in the four species with a biotechnological potential ( S. cerevisiae; S. paradoxus; S. uvarum;  and  S. kudriavzevii ), and the ability of strains to grow under osmotic and cold stresses. The results show different pattern and level of expression among the different species, especially for  STL1 . We also studied the function of Stl1 glycerol symporter in the survival to osmotic changes and cell growth capacity in winemaking environments. These experiments also revealed a different functionality of the glycerol transporters among the different species studied. All these data point to different strategies to handle glycerol accumulation in response to winemaking stresses as hyperosmotic or cold-hyperosmotic stress in the different species, with variable emphasis in the production, influx, or efflux of glycerol.
