Environmental conditions significantly impact the metabolism of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a Crabtree-positive yeast that maintains a fermentative metabolism in high-sugar environments even in the presence of oxygen. Although the introduction of oxygen has been reported to induce alterations in yeast metabolism, knowledge of the mechanisms behind these metabolic adaptations in relation to redox cofactor metabolism and their implications in the context of wine fermentation remains limited. This study aimed to compare the intracellular redox cofactor levels, the cofactor ratios, and primary metabolite production in S.

Finding new marketable mosquito repellents is a complex and time-consuming process that can be optimized via modelling. In this context, a SAR (Structure-Activity Relationship) model was designed from a set of 2171 molecules whose actual repellent activity against was available. Information-rich descriptors were used as input neurons of a three-layer perceptron (TLP) to compute the models.

Although is a model yeast for the study of lipid metabolism, its diversity is poorly known, as studies generally consider only a few standard laboratory strains. To extend our knowledge of this biotechnological workhorse, we investigated the genomic and phenotypic diversity of 56 natural isolates. is classified into five clades with no correlation between clade membership and geographic or ecological origin.

Here, we report the draft genome sequence and annotation of the yeast Candida railenensis strain CLIB 1423. The assembly consists of 57 nuclear scaffolds and 1 complete mitochondrial chromosome, for a total of 13.8 Mb (, 0.

Spraying repellents on clothing limits toxicity and allergy problems that can occur when the repellents are directly applied to skin. This also allows the use of higher doses to ensure longer lasting effects. As the number of repellents available on the market is limited, it is necessary to propose new ones, especially by using in silico methods that reduce costs and time.
