The transcriptome of a lager brewing yeast (Saccharomyces carlsbergensis, syn. of S. pastorianus), was analysed at 12 different time points spanning a production-scale lager beer fermentation. Generally, the average expression rapidly increased and had a maximum value on day 2, then decreased as the sugar got consumed. Especially genes involved in protein and lipid biosynthesis or glycolysis were highly expressed during the beginning of the fermentation. Similarities as well as significant differences in expression profiles could be observed when comparing to a previous transcriptome analysis of a laboratory yeast grown in YPD. The regional distribution of various expression levels on the chromosomes appeared to be random or near-random and no reduction in expression near telomeres was observed.

Climatic conditions, genotypes, and post-harvest processing methods influence coffee quality. Microbial fermentation during post-harvest processing has sparked researchers' interest due to the modulation of the sensory characteristics of coffee. However, the influence of microbial fermentation on different coffee genotypes has been little investigated.

Despite being present in trace amounts, ethyl esters play a crucial role as flavour compounds in lager beer. In yeast, ethyl hexanoate, ethyl octanoate and ethyl decanoate, responsible for fruity and floral taste tones, are synthesized from the toxic medium chain acyl-CoA intermediates released by the fatty acid synthase complex during the fatty acid biosynthesis, as a protective mechanism. The aim of this study was to enhance the production of ethyl esters in the hybrid lager brewing yeast Saccharomyces pastorianus by improving the medium chain acyl-CoA precursor supply.
