The relationships between the antioxidant and antiperoxide properties and the lipid composition of yeast cell envelope prior to, and after the reaction with a liquid culture medium were studied. Correlations between the hydrophobicity of envelopes, their lipid composition and the parameters of the kinetic curves of the oxidation of model methyloleate in the presence of lipids were established. It was found that, irrespective of the general content of lipids in yeast cell envelope, preparations with high antiperoxide activity of lipids had a high hydrophobicity and sorbed lipophilic prooxidants from medium, whereas preparations with low antiperoxide activity were less hydrophobic and adsorbed predominantly lipophilic inhibitors. It was found that the most comprehensive information on the physicochemical properties of lipids adsorbed from medium is provided by an analysis of kinetic curves of oxidation in toto.

Background: Continuous fermentation offers advantages in improving production efficiency and reducing costs, making it highly competitive for industrial ethanol production. A key requirement for Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains used in this process is their tolerance to high ethanol concentrations, which enables them to adapt to continuous fermentation conditions. To explore how yeast cells respond to varying levels of ethanol stress during fermentation, a two-month continuous fermentation was conducted.

Microtubule plus-end tracking proteins (+TIPs) participate in nearly all microtubule-based cellular processes and have recently been proposed to function as liquid condensates. However, their formation and internal organization remain poorly understood. Here, we have study the phase separation of Bik1, a CLIP-170 family member and key +TIP involved in budding yeast cell division.

The tiller angle, one of the critical factors that determine the rice plant type, is closely related to rice yield. An appropriate rice tiller angle can improve rice photosynthetic efficiency and increase yields. In this study, we identified a transcription factor, TILLRE ANGLE CONTROL 8 (TAC8), that is highly expressed in the rice tiller base and positively regulates the tiller angle by regulating cell length and endogenous auxin content; TAC8 encodes a TEOSINTE BRANCHED1/CYCLOIDEA/PCF transcriptional activator that is highly expressed in the nucleus.

A new colorimetric fluorescent sensor QPEBT was developed by merging the N,N-di(2-picolyl)ethane-1,2-diamine and 2,2'-bithiophene moieties into the quinolimide backbone. QPEBT could sensitively detect Zn through the remarkable fluorescence enhancement with distinct color changes from light orange to pink in visible light and from ginger to orange-yellow in 365 nm UV irradiation. The 1:1 stoichiometry between QPEBT and Zn was verified by the spectra titrations, Job's and HRMS analyses, and theoretical calculations.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous environmental pollutants, detected even in remote regions such as the Antarctic, Arctic, and Tibetan Plateau. Thus, understanding their biodegradation processes at low temperatures is crucial. Therefore, the potential of fungal strains from the Antarctic to biodegrade PAHs was explored.
