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:A caffeine-resistant Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutant strain was obtained using an evolutionary engineering strategy based on successive batch cultivation at gradually increasing caffeine levels. The mutant strain Caf905-2 was selected at a caffeine concentration where its reference strain could not grow at all. Whole-genome transcriptomic analysis of Caf905-2 was performed with respect to its reference strain.
Project description:Transcriptomic study to characterize the interaction of the Penicillium expansum antifungal protein PeAfpA with the the model yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. For this, the transcriptome of S. cerevisiae BY4741 strain was compared among samples treated with increasing concentrations of PeAfpA.
Project description:Intact nuclei from an asynchronous population of W303 Saccharomyces cerevisiae in log-phase growth were subjected to a 16-minute DNase I digestion (0.1 U/μL) at 37 °C. DNA was then recovered, and single-end Illumina sequencing libraries were prepared using the Crawford DNase-seq method (Song and Crawford, 2010).
Project description:A six array study using total gDNA recovered from two separate cultures of each of three different strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (YB-210 or CRB, Y389 or MUSH, and Y2209 or LEP) and two separate cultures of Saccharomyces cerevisiae DBY8268. Each array measures the hybridization of probes tiled across the Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome.
Project description:During fermentation Saccharomyces yeast produces various aroma-active metabolites determining the different characteristics of aroma and taste in fermented beverages. Amino acid utilization by yeast during brewer´s wort fermentation is seen as linked to flavour profile. To better understand the relationship between the biosynthesis of aroma relevant metabolites and the importance of amino acids, DNA microarrays were performed for Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain S81 and Saccharomyces pastorianus var. carlsbergensis strain S23, respectively. Thereby, changes in transcription of genes were measured, which are associated with amino acid assimilation and its derived aroma-active compounds during fermentation.
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.
