We previously constructed a carotenoid producer BL03-D-4 which produced much more carotenoid in YPM (modified YPD) media than YPD media. In this study, the impacts of nutritional components on carotenoid accumulation of BL03-D-4 were investigated. When using YPM media, the carotenoid yield was increased 10-fold compared to using the YPD media. To elucidate the hidden mechanism, a transcriptome analysis was performed and showed that 464 genes changed significantly in YPM media. Furthermore, inspired by the differential gene expression analysis which indicated that , , and showed the most remarkable changes, we found that the improvement of carotenoid accumulation in YPM media was mainly due to the copper ions, since supplementation of 0.08 mM CuSO in YPD media could increase carotenoid yield 9.2-fold. Reverse engineering of target genes was performed and carotenoid yield could be increased 6.4-fold in YPD media through overexpression of . The present study revealed for the first time the prominent promotion of carotenoid yield by copper ions in engineered and provided a new target for genetic engineering of for the bioproduction of carotenoids.

Pectinolytic enzymes secreted by yeasts have an untapped potential in industry, particularly in wine-making. This study addresses the limitations of the current screening methods in reliably predicting the capacity of pectinolytic yeast strains to secrete polygalacturonase (PGase) under industrial conditions, suggesting a novel screening approach. Using the context of wine-making as an example, a diverse collection of 512 yeast strains from 17 species was analyzed for PGase secretion, a key enzyme in pectinolysis.

This study demonstrates the sustainable advancement of fermentation media by blending the organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW) with organosolv beechwood cellulose. Investigations examined the effects of enzyme dosages and OFMSW integration into organosolv beechwood cellulose on sugar yield. The findings indicate that OFMSW inclusion and Cellic® CTec3 dosage significantly influence hydrolysis across two different batches of beechwood cellulose.

Pbp1, a yeast ortholog of human ataxin-2, is important for cell growth in the medium containing non-fermentable carbon sources. We had reported that Pbp1 regulates expression of genes related to glycogenesis via transcriptional regulation and genes related to mitochondrial function through mRNA stability control. To further analyze the role of Pbp1 in gene expression, we first examined the time course of gene expression after transfer from YPD medium containing glucose to YPGlyLac medium containing glycerol and lactate.
