Isolation and Identification of Indigenous Wine Yeasts and Their Use in Alcoholic Fermentation
Research background. In our study, spontaneous alcoholic fermentations were carried out to isolate non-Saccharomyces and Saccharomyces yeasts from grape must from different vine-growing regions in Slovenia.

The role of PAF in immunopathology: From immediate hypersensitivity reactions to fungal defense
Abstract Platelet‐activating factor (PAF, 1‐alkyl‐2‐acetyl‐sn‐glycero‐3‐phosphorylcholine) was discovered when the mechanisms involved in the deposition of immune complex in tissues were being scrutinized in the experimental model of rabbit serum sickness.

Discontinuity Induced Bifurcations in a Model of Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]
We perform a bifurcation analysis of the mathematical model of Jones and Kompala [K.D. Jones and D.S. Kompala, Cybernetic model of the growth dynamics of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in batch and continuous cultures, J. Biotech., 71:105-131, 1999]. Stable oscillations arise via Andronov-Hopf bifurcations and exist for intermediate values of the dilution ...

Lead toxicity in Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]
The effect of Pb on Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell structure and function was examined. Membrane integrity was assessed by the release of UV-absorbing compounds and by the intracellular K(+) efflux. No leakage of UV(260)-absorbing compounds or loss of K(+) were observed in Pb (until 1,000 μmol/l) treated cells up to 30 min; these results suggest that ...

Evidence for abundant transcription of non-coding regions in the Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome [PDF]
Background: Recent studies in a growing number of organisms have yielded accumulating evidence that a significant portion of the non-coding region in the genome is transcribed. We address this issue in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Results: Taking into account the absence of a significantly large yeast EST database, we use microarray expression

Denaturation mapping of Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]
Optical mapping of DNA provides large-scale genomic information that can be used to assemble contigs from next-generation sequencing, and to detect rearrangements between single cells. A recent optical mapping technique called denaturation mapping has the advantage of using physical principles rather than the action of enzymes to probe genomic ...

Polyhydroxyalkanoate Producing Potential of Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are inclusion bodies accumulated by some microorganisms as reserve material under unbalanced growth condition such as limited oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorous or sulphur and excess carbon source.

The production of alcohol free beers with citric acid cycle defect.
For production of alcohol free beer was used Saccharomyces cerevisiae with citric acid cycle defect. The ethanol concentration of all beers, produced in charge or continuos process by means of traditional or immobilised yeast was negligible ...

Evolutionary genomics of transposable elements in Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]
Saccharomyces cerevisiae is one of the premier model systems for studying the genomics and evolution of transposable elements. The availability of the S. cerevisiae genome led to many insights into its five known transposable element families (Ty1-Ty5) in the years shortly after its completion.

Viruses and Prions of Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]
Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been a key experimental organism for the study of infectious diseases, including dsRNA viruses, ssRNA viruses, and prions. Studies of the mechanisms of virus and prion replication, virus structure, and structure of the amyloid filaments that are the basis of yeast prions have been at the forefront of such studies in these ...
