The yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus possesses advantageous traits like rapid growth, GRAS (generally regarded as safe) status and thermotolerance that make it very suitable for diverse biotechnological applications. Although physiological studies demonstrate wide phenotypic variation within the species, there is only limited information available on the genetic diversity of K. marxianus. The aim ...

The results of recent experiments in budding and fission yeast show that there is a diversity of mechanisms for targeting proteins to the plus ends of microtubules in eukaryotic cells.

Lichens are symbiotic partnerships between a filamentous fungus and photosymbiotic “alga”. Studies show that lichens harbor endothallic fungi, but some taxa have been difficult to isolate from the main thallus-forming other faster growing lichenicolous/endothallic fungi. Therefore, we aimed develop evaluate liquid yeast-enrichment strategies (1) lichen-associated yeasts in pure culture, (2) det...

biodiversity/biological diversity Species, genetic, and ecosystem diversity in an area, sometimes including associated abiotic components such as landscape features, drainage systems, and climate. diversity indices Measures that describe the different components of biodiversity, such as species richness (alpha diversity), beta and gamma diversity, endemicity, and higher taxon richness. ecosyste...

The traditional method for sparkling wine making consists of a second fermentation base followed by ageing in the same bottle that reaches consumers. Nitrogen metabolism is most important process after carbon and takes place during yeast. Amino acids are numerous nitrogen compounds released this process. They contribute to organoleptic properties wines and, therefore, their sensory quality. mai...
