It is commonly observed that microorganisms subjected to a mild stress develop tolerance not only to higher doses of the same stress but also to other stresses – a phenomenon called cross protection. The mechanisms for cross protection have not been fully revealed. Here, we report that heat shock induced cross protection against UV, oxidative and osmotic/salt stress conditions in the cosmopolitan fungusMetarhizium robertsii. Similarly, oxidative and osmotic/salt stresses also induced cross protection against multiple other stresses. We found that oxidative and osmotic/salt stresses produce an accumulation of pyruvate that scavenges stress‐induced reactive oxygen species and promotes fungal growth. Thus, stress‐induced pyruvate accumulation contributes to cross protection. RNA‐seq and qRT‐PCR analyses showed that UV, osmotic/salt and oxidative stress conditions decrease the expression level of pyruvate consumption genes in the trichloroacetic acid cycle and fermentation pathways leading to pyruvate accumulation. Our work presents a novel mechanism for cross protection in microorganisms.
