Glutathione overproducers were detected by examining the pigmentation intensity of Saccharomyces cerevisiae met30 yeast carrying wild-type alleles for ADE1 and ADE2. Highly pigmented colonies, phenocopies of the ade2 or ade1 mutants, were observed among yeast grown in minimal biotin-free medium with a high methionine content.

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

Microb Biotechnol

Department of Biotechnology, Instituto de Agroquímica y Tecnología de los Alimentos, Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, Paterna, Valencia, Spain.

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.

Chromatin Regulation of Acetic Acid Stress Tolerance by Ino80 in Budding Yeast .

J Agric Food Chem

January 2025

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.
