Project description:Altered mRNA levels of HBT1 were observed in S. cerevisiae cells expressing hsc82-W296A compared to WT HSC82. We conducted microarray analysis to determine the extent of other changes in that strain. The yeast strain used contained chromosomal deletions of HSC82 and HSP82. WT HSC82 or hsc82-W296A was supplied on a plasmid so that it was the only Hsp90 present in the cell. Yeast were grown overnight in rich media at 30° and harvested during exponential growth phase. RNA was harvested from three cultures expressing WT Hsc82 and 3 cultures expressing the Hsp90 mutant..
Project description:Saccharomyces cerevisiae is an excellent microorganism for industrial succinic acid production, but high succinic acid concentration will inhibit the growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae then reduce the production of succinic acid. Through analysis the transcriptomic data of Saccharomyces cerevisiae with different genetic backgrounds under different succinic acid stress, we hope to find the response mechanism of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to succinic acid.
Project description:Investigation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae phosphate metabolism. Cells starved for phosphate, cells grown with intermediate and high phosphate concentrations, and PHO4 mutant cells examined. Keywords: other
Project description:Nickel-resistant Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutant was obtained by evolutionary engineering. The reference strain which was used to select this nickel-resistant mutant could not grow even at 0.5 mM NiCl2 whereas this mutant was shown to be resistant upto 5.3 mM NiCl2 concentration. Whole-genome microarray analysis might be promising to identify the nickel resistance mechanisms in the yeast cells.
Project description:Proteomic analysis of the extracellular matrix of Saccharomyces cerevisiae W303-1A Wt and the isogenic mutant strain gup1Δ during the development of multicellular overlays.
Project description:Industrial bioethanol production may involve a low pH environment,improving the tolerance of S. cerevisiae to a low pH environment caused by inorganic acids may be of industrial importance to control bacterial contamination, increase ethanol yield and reduce production cost. Through analysis the transcriptomic data of Saccharomyces cerevisiae with different ploidy under low pH stress, we hope to find the tolerance mechanism of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to low pH.
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
