The lager yeast hybrid (Saccharomyces cerevisiae × Saccharomyces eubayanus) possesses two key characteristics that are essential for lager brewing: efficient sugar utilization and cold tolerance. Here we explore the possibility that the lager yeast phenotype can be recreated by hybridizing S. cerevisiae ale yeast with a number of cold-tolerant Saccharomyces species including Saccharomyces arbor...

The completion of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome sequencing project and the continued development of improved technology for large-scale genome analysis have led to tremendous growth in the amount of new yeast genetics and molecular biology data. Efficient organization, presentation, and dissemination of this information are essential if researchers are to exploit this knowledge. In additi...

The apparent absence of mitochondria in chemi-troversy over the fate of mitochondria during cally-fixed, anaerobically-grown Saccharomyces yeast anaerobic growth and subsequent exposure of the cells (Morpurgo et al ., 1964; Wallace and Linnane, cells to air. Linnane and his coworkers have shown 1964 ; Wallace et al ., 1968) has resulted in a con-that yeast cells grown anaerobically under lipid

A discrete deterministic model is described for the growth of an age-structured population of yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, incorporating recent information on the asymmetry of cell division and control of the cell cycle in this species. Solutions are obtained for the age structure of the population at equilibrium, and for the equilibrium distribution of relative frequency of cells through t...

Functional modularity is a key attribute of cellular systems and has important roles in evolution. However, the extent to which functional modularity affects protein evolution is largely unknown. Here, we analyzed the evolution of both sequence and expression level of proteins in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and found that proteins within the same functional modules evolve at more similar...

this work examined the simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (ssf) process for the biological conversion rice wastewater into ethanol using co-culture of aspergillus niger (a. niger) and saccharomyces cerevisiae (s. cerevisiae) in batch condition. in this study, the a. niger and s. cerevisiae were used for hydrolysis and production of ethanol from rice wastewater, respectively. the effe...

backgrounds: optimization of microbial compositions and load in live food during the process of bioencapsulation is one of the most important concerns in aquaculture, as it can promote the growth and feeding parameters of fish larvae. objectives: the aim of this study was to determine the growth and feeding performance of persian sturgeon larvae fed with bioencapsulated d. magna with saccharomy...

Having determined the mass of a single cell of brewer yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae by means of a microcantilever-based biosensor Cantisens CSR-801 (Concentris, Basel, Switzerland), it was found that its dry mass is 47,65 ± 1,05 pg. Found to be crucial in this mass determination was the cell position along the length of the cantilever. Moreover, calculations including cells positions on the ca...
