Taxonomy of Yeasts [PDF]

open access: possibleNature, 1960
ON different occasions, when studying the classification of yeasts, I have been able to appreciate how little consistency there is in the taxonomic characters in use. Recently, I have met with fresh anomalies which, in my opinion, make a complete revision of the present system of classification of yeasts unavoidable.

Yeast and apoptosis

Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology, 2002
Even though yeast lack much of the molecular machinery that is responsible for apoptosis in metazoans, they can be a powerful tool in apoptosis research. The ectopic expression of several animal apoptosis proteins in yeast can help us to discover new genes -- and chemical compounds -- that modulate the cell-death pathways of higher eukaryotes.

Mitophagy in Yeast

Biochemistry (Moscow), 2019
Mitochondria play a crucial role in energy production, general cell metabolism, cell signaling, and apoptosis. Mitochondria are also the main source of reactive oxygen species, especially in the case of their dysfunction. Therefore, damaged or even superfluous mitochondria not required for normal cell functioning represent risk factors and should be ...

Chromosomes in Yeasts

Nature, 1951
CENTROSOMES and chromosomes were described in our control strain of yeast some four years ago1. At that time we had to depend on camera lucida illustrations, owing to lack of facilities for photomicrography. Winge and Roberts2, while agreeing with our criticisms of Lindegren's3 views on yeast cytology, comment: “The experience of the senior author in ...

Polyploidy in Yeasts

Nature, 1958
IN addition to the four strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and one strain of Saccharomyces delbrueckii that form asci with more than four spores per ascus1, I have found eight other strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae that are able to form asci with five, six, seven, eight and nine smooth, round ascospores. One of these strains was obtained some years

Synchronization of Yeast

2011
The budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe are amongst the simplest and most powerful model systems for studying the genetics of cell cycle control. Because yeast grows very rapidly in simple and economical media, large numbers of cells can easily be obtained for genetic, molecular, and biochemical studies of

Chemotaxonomy of yeasts

Acta Odontologica Scandinavica, 1990
The present review deals with chemotaxonomic methods for yeasts. DNA base composition, which is expressed as molar percentages of guanine plus cytosine (G + C), is fitted for description of a new species and serves exclusionary functions. G + C content range among species within a genus is often 10% or less.

The Yeast Nucleus

1978
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the recent progress on the structure and activities of the yeast nucleus. The chapter focuses on budding yeasts and concentrates on Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This organism is currently much in favor because it is a eukaryote that can be grown and analyzed genetically with the same ease as bacteria.
