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.

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 ...

Filamentous growth in Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]
Fungal dimorphism is a complex phenomenon triggered by a large variety of environmental factors and consists of a reversible alternating pattern of growth between different elliptical and filamentous forms of cells. Understanding the mechanisms that regulate these events is of major interest because of their implications in fungal pathogenesis, cell ...

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 ...
