Volatile codes: Correlation of olfactory signals and reception in Drosophila-yeast chemical communication. [PDF]
Drosophila have evolved strong mutualistic associations with yeast communities that best support their growth and survival, resulting in the development of novel niches.

Improving homology-directed repair by small molecule agents for genetic engineering in unconventional yeast? -- Learning from the engineering of mammalian systems [PDF]
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 ...

Evaluation of a Brazilian fuel alcohol yeast strain for Scotch whisky fermentations [PDF]
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 ...

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]
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

Microbial quality and yeast population dynamics in cracked green table olives' fermentations [PDF]
Cracked green table olives, from the Manzanilla variety, are a fermented food produced and consumed in Portugal. The objective of the present work was to study the microbiological characteristics and yeast population evolution during the fermentation of ...

Fungal Species Diversity in French Bread Sourdoughs Made of Organic Wheat Flour
Microbial communities are essential for the maintenance and functioning of ecosystems, including fermented food ecosystems. The analysis of food microbial communities is mainly focused on lactic acid bacteria (LAB), while yeast diversity is less ...

Lattice-based simulation of the effects of nutrient concentration and magnetic field exposure on yeast colony growth and morphology [PDF]
Yeasts exist in communities that expand over space and time to form complex structures and patterns. We developed a computational lattice-based framework to perform spatial-temporal simulations of budding yeast colonies exposed to different nutrient and magnetic field conditions. The budding patterns of haploid and diploid yeast cells were incorporated

A new framework for identifying combinatorial regulation of transcription factors: a case study of the yeast cell cycle [PDF]
By integrating heterogeneous functional genomic datasets, we have developed a new framework for detecting combinatorial control of gene expression, which includes estimating transcription factor activities using a singular value decomposition method and reducing high-dimensional input gene space by considering genomic properties of gene clusters.
