Project description:Transcriptional profiling of ethanol tolerant strains Ets2 and Ets3 comparing control Saccharomyces cerevisiae L3262 with ethanol tolerant strains Ets2 and Ets3, through screening a mutant library of SPT15 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae L3262. Four-condition experiment, L3262 vs. Ets2 or Ets3 strains. Biological replicates: 4 control, each 2 transfected(Ets2, Ets3), independently grown and harvested. One replicate per array.
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:rs12-08_cyp715a1 - col-0 vs cyp715a1 - The microarray analysis is part of a project aimed at characterizing the function of the cytochrome P450 CYP715A1 in Arabidopsis thaliana. - Flower buds of Arabidopsis Col-0 (wild-type) and cyp715A1 mutant were harvested for a comparative analysis of their transcriptomes.
Project description:We have engineered an RT-active DNA polymerase variant called RT-KTq I614Y that produces error RT‑signatures specific for pseudouridine (Ψ) without prior chemical treatment of the RNA samples. These signatures are amplified during DNA amplicon library preparation and are detected by NGS. This method was applied to distinguish U from Ψ in RNA oligonucleotides (modified or unmodified) used in the previous polymerase screening and oligonucleotides which are designed from the human 18S rRNA at the position around 1445. Finally, RT-KTq I614Y was used to detect Ψ55 in tRNAGly(GCC) from Saccharomyces cerevisiae wildtype compared to data from tRNAGly(GCC) from S. cerevisiae pus4Δ.

Project description:Aims: We performed an analysis of maltotriose utilization by 52 Saccharomyces yeast strains able to ferment maltose efficiently and correlated the observed phenotypes with differences in the copy number of genes possibly involved in maltotriose utilization by yeast cells. Methods and Results: The analysis of maltose and maltotriose utilization by laboratory and industrial strains of the species Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Saccharomyces pastorianus (a natural S. cerevisiae/Saccharomyces bayanus hybrid) was carried out using microscale liquid cultivation, as well as in aerobic batch cultures. All strains utilize maltose efficiently as a carbon source, but three different phenotypes were observed for maltotriose utilization: efficient growth, slow/delayed growth and no growth. Through microarray karyotyping and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis blots, we analysed the copy number and localization of several maltose-related genes in selected S. cerevisiae strains. While most strains lacked the MPH2 and MPH3 transporter genes, almost all strains analysed had the AGT1 gene and increased copy number of MALx1 permeases. Conclusions: Our results showed that S. pastorianus yeast strains utilized maltotriose more efficiently than S. cerevisiae strains and highlighted the importance of the AGT1 gene for efficient maltotriose utilization by S. cerevisiae yeasts. Significance and Impact of the Study: Our results revealed new maltotriose utilization phenotypes, contributing to a better understanding of the metabolism of this carbon source for improved fermentation by Saccharomyces yeasts.
