We determined the genome sequence of industrial Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain NAM34-4C, which would be useful for bioethanol production. The approximately 11.5-Mb draft genome sequence of NAM34-4C will provide remarkable insights into metabolic engineering for effective production of bioethanol from biomass.

Candida albicans maintains a commensal relationship with human hosts, probably by adhering to mucosal tissue in a variety of physiological conditions. We show that adherence due to the C. albicans gene ALA1 when transformed into Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is comprised of two sequential steps. Initially, C. albicans rapidly attaches to extracellular matrix (ECM) protein-coated magnetic beads in s...

Yeast species have undergone extensive genome reorganization in their evolutionary history, including variations in chromosome number and large chromosomal rearrangements, such as translocations. To determine directly the contribution of chromosomal translocations to the whole organism's fitness, we devised a strategy to construct in Saccharomyces cerevisiae collinear "evolutionary mimics" of o...

two different growth media, namely complex and defined media, were used to examine establishment of steady-state conditions in phosphate-limited culture system of saccharomyces cerevisiae cen.pk113-5d strain. using the defined growth medium, it was possible to obtain steady state condition in the continuous culture. the effect of phosphate concentration on the growth of s. cerevisiae in phospha...

background: 1, 2-dimethylhydrazine (dmh) enhances lipid peroxidation rate by tumor mitochondria than normal tissue counterpart and causes many disorders in antioxidant system in liver. it also increases the level of enzymes that metabolize toxin in liver and colon. the aim of this study was to evaluate the alteration of liver and its enzymes after dmh injection and evaluate protective effect of...

There is an increasing trend toward understanding the impact of non-Saccharomyces yeasts on the winemaking process. Although Saccharomyces cerevisiae is the predominant species at the end of fermentation, it has been recognized that the presence of non-Saccharomyces species during alcoholic fermentation can produce an improvement in the quality and complexity of the final wines. A previous work...

The aim of this study is to investigate the possibility of Saccharomyces cerevisiae as an alternative adsorbent for phenol removal from aqueous solution .The Saccharomyces cerevisiae was characterised by Brunauer Emmett Teller (BET) and Fourier transform (FT-IR). Adsorption properties of Saccharomyces cerevisiae towards phenol were systematically investigated, including pH effect, adsorbent dos...

Application of cool temperatures were studied to encourage Metschnikowia pulcherrima P01A016 and Meyerozyma guilliermondii P40D002 prior inoculation Saccharomyces cerevisiae D254 lower ultimate ethanol concentrations achieved. Merlot grape must was distributed into 300 L temperature-controlled tanks inoculated with non-Saccharomyces yeasts three days before S. cerevisiae. For control fermentati...

<p>Excessive use of fossil fuels results in the rapid depletion non-renewable energy resources, a rise fuel cost, and an uncontrolled emission greenhouse gases which causes severe threat to environment. Bio-fuels are being scrutinized as substitutes for current high-pollutant obtained from conventional sources. To meet global demands, it becomes necessary find alternate source is bioethan...
