The kinetics of the initial stages of autolysis of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae was studied and the following kinetic parameters were determined: induction period, steady-state rate of the enzyme-induced effect, and steady-state concentration of intermediate products. It was shown that appropriate inducers were able to cause a more than fourfold increase in the rate of reactions catalyzed by proteinases and almost a tenfold increase in the concentration of intermediate peptides. The mean length of the peptide molecules formed in the process was determined and dependence of this value on the degree of hydrolysis was demonstrated.

Sterol composition plays a crucial role in determining the ability of yeast cells to withstand high temperatures, an essential trait in biotechnology. Using a targeted evolution strategy involving fluconazole (FCNZ), an inhibitor of the sterol biosynthesis pathway, and the immunosuppressant FK506, we aimed to enhance thermotolerance in an industrial baker's yeast population by modifying their sterol composition. This approach yielded six isolates capable of proliferating in liquid YPD with μ values ranging from 0.

Enhanced environmental stress tolerance is important for microbial production of biofuels and biobased chemicals. However, the roles of chromatin regulation in stress tolerance and bioproduction remain unclear. Here, we explore the effects of Ino80, the core subunit of the INO80 chromatin remodeling complex, on yeast stress adaptation.
