Some additional desirable traits for these microorganisms are: an ability to produce flavor components that which favor consumption of these foods in traditional and new markets; the capability to break down antinutritional factors (i.e., physic acid) present in some substrates; the production of enzymes to utilize recalcitrant wastes as substrates; the inability to synthesize toxins and other undesirable secondary products; and thermotolerance and osmotolerance, which are important characteristics in solid substrate fermentation processes.

Mutation to increase yields, alcohol tolerance, and thermotolerance (which would allow the alcohol to be removed as vapor at, say, 70° C) would be an important part of this development.

Heat-shock response • Due to strong heat-shock protein induction triggered by environmental stress • Heat shock protein - enhance thermotolerance - facilitate folding under Tegula funebralis non-stressful conditions (intertidal) - catalyze the refolding of Tegula brunnea partially denatured (subtidal) proteins and thus stabilize protein under stress
