Project description:Snf1 and TORC1 are two global regulators that sense the nutrient availability and regulate the cell growth in yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Here we undertook a systems biology approach to study the effect of deletion of these genes and investigate the interaction between Snf1 and TORC1 in regulation of gene expression and cell metabolism.

Here we undertook a systems biology approach to study the effect of deletion of these genes and investigate the interaction between Snf1 and TORC1 in regulation of gene expression and cell metabolism. 3 mutant strains (snf1?, tor1?, snf1?tor1?) together with 1 reference strain grown under both glucose-limited or amonia-limited defined media with three biological replicates for each strain
Project description:Transcriptomic study to characterize the interaction of the Penicillium expansum antifungal protein PeAfpA with the the model yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. For this, the transcriptome of S. cerevisiae BY4741 strain was compared among samples treated with increasing concentrations of PeAfpA.
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: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:MNase-seq Experiments from Calorie Restricted and Non-Restricted Yeast from WT, ISW2DEL and ISW2K215R strains We used MNase-seq to study genome-wide nucleosome positions under Calorie Restricted and Non-restricted Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Project description:In wine fermentation, the blending of non-Saccharomyces yeast with Saccharomyces cerevisiae to improve the complexity of wine has become common practice, but data regarding the impact on yeast physiology and on genetic and metabolic regulation remain limited. Here we describe a transcriptomic analysis of single species and mixed species fermentations.
