An indirect assay for volatile compound production in yeast strains
نویسندگان
چکیده
Traditional flavor analysis relies on gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS) methods. Here we describe an indirect method coupling volatile compound formation to an ARO9-promoter-LacZ reporter gene. The resulting β-galactosidase activity correlated well with headspace solid phase micro extraction (HS/SPME) GC-MS data, particularly with respect to the formation of rose flavor. This tool enables large-scale screening of yeast strains and their progeny to identify the most flavor active strains.

Bioproduction of Indole Acetic Acid by Rhizobium Strains Isolated from Root Nodules of Green Manure Crop, Sesbania sesban (L.) Merr.
Twenty six Rhizobium strains were isolated from root nodules of Sesbania sesban (L.) Merr. collected from different regions of Andhra Pradesh. All the 26 Rhizobium strains produced indole acetic acid (IAA), but maximum amount was produced by only five strains in yeast extract mannitol (YEM) medium supplemented with L-tryptophan. The strains were found to elaborate maximum IAA when fed with 2.5...

متن کاملProduction and characterization of biochemical properties of L-Asparaginase by indigenous yeast isolated from soil of Iran
Introduction: The use of L-asparaginase as a chemotherapeutic agent is an effective strategy for the treatment of leukemic lymphoblasts. Since the use of bacterial L-asparaginase causes side effects due to hypersensitivity reactions, search for new enzyme sources is one of the active research areas. In this study, the characterization of produced L-asparaginase by indigenous yeast strains was i...
