AI Article Synopsis
- Inherited mutations in the Rim15p stress-response pathway affect how sake yeast strains ferment.
- Researchers discovered that knocking out the RIM15 gene in a specific yeast strain (PE-2) sped up the fermentation process of molasses.
- This acceleration was linked to improved utilization of sucrose when the yeast experienced glucose starvation.
Article Abstract
Inherited loss-of-function mutations in the Rim15p-mediated stress-response pathway contribute to the high fermentation rate of sake yeast strains. In the present study, we found that disruption of the RIM15 gene in ethanol-producing Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain PE-2 accelerated molasses fermentation through enhanced sucrose utilization following glucose starvation.
