Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in three S. cerevisiae Y55 mutants, compared to the wild-type strain. The UV-induced mutations enable the mutant strains to ferment high-gravity maltose faster than the WT. The mutants analyzed in this study are further described in Baerends, R.J.S., J.L. Qiu, L. Gautier, and A. Brandt. A high-throughput system for screening of fast-fermenting Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains. Manuscript in preparation.
Project description:Using RNA-Seq, the transcriptomes of saccharomyces cerevisiae wild-type MF02 and UV mutant strain UV02_HG were compared under high sugar conditions. Based on this analysis, we found that different expressions between two strains mainly focus on the transport and modification of proteins and metabolism of carbon

A single-dye 12-plex array chip study using double-stranded DNA prepared from messenger RNA purified from total RNA recovered from three separate Saccharomyces cerevisiae Y55 wild-type cultures and 3x three separate cultures each corresponding to a fast-fermenting UV-induced mutant (mutant 1, 2 and 3), during fermentation of high-gravity maltose at day 2. Each array on the 12-plex chip measures the expression level of 5,777 genes from Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288C with eight 60-mer probes per gene, with three-fold technical redundancy.
Project description:A propolis-resistant Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutant strain was obtained using an evolutionary engineering strategy based on successive batch cultivation under gradually increasing propolis levels. The mutant strain FD 11 was selected at a propolis concentration that the reference strain could not grow at all. Whole-genome transcriptomic analysis of FD11 was performed with respect to its reference strain to determine differences in gene expression levels between the two strains. Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Project description:To gather more in-depth knowledge of the Mtl1p mechanosensor's role in Saccharomyces cerevisiae metabolism, we conducted a comparative metabolomic analysis of two Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains: the wild type and mtl1Δ, which carries a deletion of the mechanosensor Mtl1p. Both strains were grown under normal conditions at 27°C. The most significant metabolic changes between these strains were related to amino acid metabolism, purine metabolism, and carboxylic acid metabolism.
