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:LPS was used as a stressor to stimulate the model organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae. To detect extracellular metabolic information of VOCs. To provide a molecular basis for cellular metabolism of VOCs by proteome.
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:This research work investigates the expression of the genes involved in flavor compound production in two hybrids between Saccharomyces cerevisiae and S. kudriavzevii under low (12°C) and moderate fermentation temperatures (28°C).
Project description:This study investigated the effects of TOR1 gene deletion on Saccharomyces cerevisiae through transcriptome analysis of wild-type and tor1Δ mutant cells during exponential development under non-stress circumstances. A significant number of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in the absence of TOR1, comprising 1665 upregulated genes and 1425 downregulated genes. These findings demonstrate the extensive impact of TOR signaling on several biological processes, including metabolism, stress response, and lifespan regulation. A significant number of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in the absence of TOR1, comprising 1665 upregulated genes and 1425 downregulated genes. These findings demonstrate the extensive impact of TOR signaling on several biological processes, including metabolism, stress response, and lifespan regulation. A total of 736 DEGs were associated with either replicative lifespan or chronological lifespan, further emphasizing the significance of TOR1 in aging. Although genes associated with glucose transporters and storage were upregulated, glycolytic genes remained unchanged, indicating a metabolic shift towards alternative pathways such as gluconeogenesis and the pentose phosphate pathway. Among these, HXK1 exhibited the highest upregulation in tor1Δ cells, contrasting with HXK2, whose expression remained stable. This suggests that HXK1, typically active under low glucose or caloric restriction, plays a crucial role in reregulating glucose metabolism in the absence of TOR1. The research also identified specific transcription factors, including ADR1, HAP4, and their paralogs, which were upregulated and bound only to the HXK1 promoter, pointing to their regulatory role in this metabolic shift. The findings indicate that TOR1 inactivation triggers nutrient- and energy-sensing mechanisms that redirect cellular resources towards stress adaptation and longevity, highlighting Tor1's crucial function in aging and proposing that modulation of the TOR pathway could be a potential strategy for anti-aging therapies.
