Histone deacetylases in sake yeast affect fermentation characteristics

Analysis of the Role of Mitochondria of Sake Yeast during Sake Brewing and Its Applications in Fermentation Technologies

© 2013 TERRAPUB, Tokyo. All rights reserved. doi:10.5047/agbm.2013.00301.0001 Abstract Mitochondrion is an organelle necessary for oxidative respiration. During industrial fermentation, brewery yeasts are exposed to long periods of hypoxia; however, the structure, role, and metabolism of mitochondria of brewery yeast during hypoxia have not been studied in detail. Our recent studies, for the fi...

Technology Development of Sake Fermentation in Japan

Brewing of sake is one of Japanese traditional technologies developed in a long experience of peoples spending a long time over several thousands of years in their history. Their continuous efforts for technology development has now resulted in a large scale industry producing various kinds of sake in a big scale with the most modern technologies including facilities of full automation and oper...

Histone Deacetylases Inhibit IFN-

Natural Diversity in Pentose Fermentation Is Explained by Variations in Histone Deacetylases.

The extent to which carbon flux is directed toward fermentation versus respiration differs between cell types and environmental conditions. Understanding the basic cellular processes governing carbon flux is challenged by the complexity of the metabolic and regulatory networks. To reveal the genetic basis for natural diversity in channeling carbon flux, we applied quantitative trait loci analys...

Residual mitochondrial transmembrane potential decreases unsaturated fatty acid level in sake yeast during alcoholic fermentation

Oxygen, a key nutrient in alcoholic fermentation, is rapidly depleted during this process. Several pathways of oxygen utilization have been reported in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae during alcoholic fermentation, namely synthesis of unsaturated fatty acid, sterols and heme, and the mitochondrial electron transport chain. However, the interaction between these pathways has not been investig...
