Project description:Saccharomyces cerevisiae is an excellent microorganism for industrial succinic acid production, but high succinic acid concentration will inhibit the growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae then reduce the production of succinic acid. Through analysis the transcriptomic data of Saccharomyces cerevisiae with different genetic backgrounds under different succinic acid stress, we hope to find the response mechanism of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to succinic acid.
Project description:During fermentation Saccharomyces yeast produces various aroma-active metabolites determining the different characteristics of aroma and taste in fermented beverages. Amino acid utilization by yeast during brewer´s wort fermentation is seen as linked to flavour profile. To better understand the relationship between the biosynthesis of aroma relevant metabolites and the importance of amino acids, DNA microarrays were performed for Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain S81 and Saccharomyces pastorianus var. carlsbergensis strain S23, respectively. Thereby, changes in transcription of genes were measured, which are associated with amino acid assimilation and its derived aroma-active compounds during fermentation.
Project description:The formation of heterochromatin at HML, HMR, and telomeres in Saccharomyces cerevisiae involves two main steps: Recruitment of Sir proteins to silencers and their spread throughout the silenced domain. For the following datasets, we created a fusion protein between the heterochromatin protein Sir3 and the non-site-specific bacterial adenine methyltransferase M.EcoGII. We mapped sites of Sir3-chromatin interactions genome-wide using long-read Nanopore sequencing to detect adenines methylated by the fusion protein. We also used a temperature-sensitive allele of SIR3 (sir3-8) fused to M.ECOGII to induce m6A methylation over time. Time courses involved a switch from restrictive temperature (37°C) to permissive temperature (25°C).
Project description:Industrial bioethanol production may involve a low pH environment,improving the tolerance of S. cerevisiae to a low pH environment caused by inorganic acids may be of industrial importance to control bacterial contamination, increase ethanol yield and reduce production cost. Through analysis the transcriptomic data of Saccharomyces cerevisiae with different ploidy under low pH stress, we hope to find the tolerance mechanism of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to low pH.
Project description:The formation of heterochromatin at HML, HMR, and telomeres in Saccharomyces cerevisiae involves two main steps: Recruitment of Sir proteins to silencers and their spread throughout the silenced domain. For the following datasets, we created a fusion protein between the heterochromatin protein Sir3 and the non-site-specific bacterial adenine methyltransferase M.EcoGII, with or without a 3xV5 epitope at the C-terminus. We performed ChIP-seq experiments (immunoprecipitated Sir3-M.EcoGII-3xV5) and MeDIP-seq experiments (immunoprecipitated m6A methylated DNA). We also used a temperature-sensitive allele of SIR3 (sir3-8) fused to M.ECOGII to induce m6A methylation for MeDIP-seq.
Project description:This study explores the connection between changes in gene expression and the genes that determine strain survival during suspension culture, using the model eukaryotic organism, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The Saccharomyces cerevisiae homozygous diploid deletion pool, and the BY4743 parental strain were grown for 18 hours in a rotating wall vessel, a suspension culture device optimized to minimize the delivered shear. In addition to the reduced shear conditions, the rotating wall vessels were also placed in a static position or in a shaker in order to change the amount of shear stress on the cells. Keywords: shear stress, time course
Project description:Protein extracts of three yeast strains (Saccharomyces cerevisiae CEN.PK113-7D, Kluyveromyces marxianus CBS6556 and Yarrowia lipolytica W29) cultivated in chemostats under different conditions. Representative samples containing aliquots of all conditions for each yeast strain were spiked with UPS2 standard (Sigma) to estimate absolute values in fmol. The conditions for Saccharomyces cerevisiae CEN.PK113-7D are: - Standard condition : 30°C, pH 5.5 - High temperature: 36°C, pH 5.5 - Low pH: 30°C, pH 3.5 - Osmotic stress : 30°C, pH 5.5, 1M KCl The conditions for Kluyveromyces marxianus CBS6556 are: - Standard condition : 30°C, pH 5.5 - High temperature: 40°C, pH 5.5 - Low pH: 30°C, pH 3.5 - Osmotic stress: 30°C, pH 5.5, 0.6 M KCl The conditions for Yarrowia lipolytica W29 are: - Standard condition: 28°C, pH 5.5 - High temperature: 32°C, pH 5.5 - Low pH: 28°C, pH 3.5 This study is part of the OMICS data generation WP of CHASSY project (European Union’s Horizon 2020 grant agreement No 720824).
