Yeast 2-microns plasmids were integrated near the centromere of a different chromosome in each of 16 cir0 mapping strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The specific chromosomes containing the integrated 2-microns plasmid DNA were lost at a high frequency after crossing the cir0 strains to cir+ strains. A recessive mutation in a cir+ strain can then be easily assigned to its chromosome using this set of mapping strains, since the phenotype of the recessive mutation will be manifested only in diploids having the integrated 2-microns plasmid and the unmapped mutation on homologous chromosomes.

Sterol-Targeted Laboratory Evolution Allows the Isolation of Thermotolerant and Respiratory-Competent Clones of the Industrial Yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

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.
