Evaluation of a Brazilian fuel alcohol yeast strain for Scotch whisky fermentations [PDF]
, 2009 Traditionally, distilling companies in Scotland have employed a very limited number of yeast strains in the production of alcohol for Scotch whiskies. Recent changes such as the decline in availability of brewers’ yeast as a secondary yeast strain and ...

Open Biology, 2021 Microtubules are critical for a variety of cellular processes such as chromosome segregation, intracellular transport and cell shape. Drugs against microtubules have been widely used in cancer chemotherapies, though the acquisition of drug resistance has

Introducing a new breed of wine yeast: interspecific hybridisation between a commercial Saccharomyces cerevisiae wine yeast and Saccharomyces mikatae [PDF]
, 2013 Interspecific hybrids are commonplace in agriculture and horticulture; bread wheat and grapefruit are but two examples. The benefits derived from interspecific hybridisation include the potential of generating advantageous transgressive phenotypes.

The Significance of Lipids to Biofilm Formation in Candida albicans: An Emerging Perspective
Journal of Fungi, 2018 Candida albicans, the dimorphic opportunistic human fungal pathogen, is capable of forming highly drug-resistant biofilms in the human host. Formation of biofilm is a multistep and multiregulatory process involving various adaptive mechanisms.

Identification of a small RhoA GTPase inhibitor effective in fission yeast and human cells
Open Biology, 2023 The Rho GTPase family proteins are key regulators of cytoskeletal dynamics. Deregulated activity of Rho GTPases is associated with cancers and neurodegenerative diseases, and their potential as drug targets has long been recognized. Using an economically

Improving homology-directed repair by small molecule agents for genetic engineering in unconventional yeast? -- Learning from the engineering of mammalian systems [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 The ability to precisely edit genomes by deleting or adding genetic information enables the study of biological functions and the building of efficient cell factories. In many unconventional yeasts, such as promising new hosts for cell factory design but also human pathogenic yeasts and food spoilers, this progress has been limited by the fact that ...

FEMS Microbiology Reviews, 2003 Although yeast are unicellular and comparatively simple organisms, they have a sense of time which is not related to reproduction cycles. The glycolytic pathway exhibits oscillatory behaviour, i.e. the metabolite concentrations oscillate around phosphofructokinase. The frequency of these oscillations is about 1 min when using intact cells. Also a yeast

Evidence for abundant transcription of non-coding regions in the Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome [PDF]
BMC Genomics 6:93 (2005), 2005 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
