Article Synopsis
- - Synchronous rhythmic activities, such as glycolytic oscillations in yeast, are essential for various biological functions and have been studied for many years to understand their mechanisms and synchronization.
- - The study found that the antimicrobial agent chitosan affected glycolytic oscillations in yeast cells, reducing their duration while causing varied changes in oscillation periods and synchronicity depending on the concentration.
- - At low concentrations, chitosan seemed to enhance synchronization by increasing intercellular coupling, while higher concentrations led to desynchronization, highlighting a balance between its effects on cell membranes and acetaldehyde levels.
Article Synopsis
- Starvation in wildlife is a major stressor that can compound with other stresses like acidity and heat, impacting an organism's development and metabolism.
- A study on the yeast S. cerevisiae showed that culturing in acidic conditions caused a significant drop in pH, leading to decreased cell viability and longer lag periods in growth due to cell damage.
- Despite these effects, long-term cultivation did not significantly alter growth rates or central carbon metabolism dynamics, indicating that while cell damage impacted growth delays, overall metabolic characteristics remained stable over time.
