Distillery yeasts are poorly characterized physiological group among the Saccharomyces sensu stricto complex. As industrial yeasts are under constant environmental stress during fermentation processes and the nucleolus is a stress sensor, in the present study, nucleolus-related parameters were evaluated in 22 commercially available distillery yeast strains. Distillery yeasts were found to be a heterogeneous group with a variable content and length of rDNA and degree of nucleolus fragmentation. The levels of rDNA were negatively correlated with Nop1 (r = -0.59, p = 0.0038). Moreover, the protein levels of Sir transcriptional silencing complex and longevity regulators, namely Sir1, Sir2, Sir3 and Fob1, were studied and negative correlations between Sir2 and Nop1 (r = -0.45, p = 0.0332), and between Sir2 and Fob1 (r = -0.49, p = 0.0211) were revealed. In general, S. paradoxus group of distillery yeasts with higher rDNA pools and Sir2 level than S. bayanus group was found to be more tolerant to fermentation-associated stress stimuli, namely mild cold/heat stresses and KCl treatment. We postulate that rDNA state may be considered as a novel factor that may modulate a biotechnological process.

The unique process of "Multiple-qu fermentation" (MF) is essential for the formation of the Jian-flavor Baijiu, but the mechanisms behind its aroma development remain not fully understood. This study compared the effects of "Single-qu fermentation"(SF) and MF on Baijiu production to elucidate the microbial and metabolic interactions responsible for its distinct aroma. Firstly, significant differences were observed in the microbial communities of the two types of Daqu.

Secondary metabolic products of molds, called mycotoxins, negatively affect animal health and production. They constitute a significant problem in veterinary and medical sciences, and their presence has been confirmed in feed all over the world. Applying appropriate agricultural practices and ensuring proper storage conditions significantly reduces the contamination of agricultural products with mycotoxins.

Article Synopsis
- Chinese Baijiu is a well-known alcoholic drink from China, and this study focuses on the interactions between key microorganisms during its fermentation at different temperatures.
- Results showed that one microorganism significantly reduced the growth and lactic acid production of another when the temperature was above 15 °C, while the first microorganism did not affect the growth of a third microorganism involved in ethanol production.
- A detailed analysis revealed that key enzymes for sugar metabolism and lactic acid production were less active in the presence of the dominant microorganism, highlighting its inhibitory role and offering insights for optimizing Baijiu fermentation processes.

Article Synopsis
- - Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is a highly toxic substance that poses serious health risks to poultry, prompting concerns in the industry, while distillery yeast sludge (DS) is a nutrient-rich byproduct often discarded as waste.
- - A study involved feeding 360 broiler chicks different levels of AFB1 and DS for 42 days to assess their effects on growth, organ health, and immune response.
- - Results showed that DS supplementation helped reduce oxidative stress and immune issues caused by lower doses of AFB1 (100 and 200 µg/kg), but did not significantly alleviate problems at the highest dose (600 µg/kg), indicating a need for further research on optimal AFB1 to DS
