Project description:The aim of the study was to decipher metabolisms responsible (i) for the peculiar adaptation of L. plantarum during soy juice fermentation and (ii) for the release of aroma compounds, amino and short-chain fatty acid, and metabolites with health-promoting properties in soy yogurt. The strategy was the sequencing and annotation of a strain (L. plantarum CIRM-BIA777, PRJEB77707) able to degrade galacto- oligosaccharides, the sampling of soy yogurt, RNA-seq to identify differentially expressed genes of L. plantarum and corresponding metabolisms throughout the kinetics of fermentation. Acids and volatile compounds were also quantified.
Project description:The present work aimed to compare the transcriptome of three major ethanol-producer Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains in Brazil when fermenting sugarcane juice for fuel ethanol production. This was motivated by the reports presenting physiological and genomics differences among them, and by the attempt to identify genes that could be related to their fermentation capacity and adaptation for different industrial processes.

Two-condition experiment, T0h vs. T6h fermetations assay. Biological replicates: 3 T0h replicates, 5 T6h replicates.
