Fermentation temperature (FT) is one of the most critical factors, which can be used to control the growth conditions of S. cerevisiae to obtain excellent final products in winemaking. In this study, we analyzed the responses of six S. cerevisiae strains with different temperature preferences to FT (20 °C, 30 °C, and 35 °C) in huangjiu fermentation. The flavor substances, free amino acids and undesirable secondary metabolites related to huangjiu quality were determined. Results indicated that both S. cerevisiae strains and FT had significant effects on huangjiu fermentation, while the effects were strain-independent and differentiated temperature preferences for different fermentation characteristics. We found that the effects of FT were greater than that of S. cerevisiae strains under the premise of satisfying fermentation completion. Low temperature (20 °C) and high temperature (35 °C) fermentation were possible in the production of differentiated industrial huangjiu styles, while the effects of FT on undesirable secondary metabolites needed to be considered before industrial application. The results showed that a combination of FT with one or more S. cerevisiae strains could be used as a fermentation starter in huangjiu production for different types of products.

The aim of this study was to isolate strains with excellent fermentation performance from pickles, thus enhancing the quality of rapid, low-salt fermented mustard leaves (Brassica juncea var. multiceps) through process optimization and inoculation fermentation. A high-throughput screening method for acid-producing strains was developed, significantly improving screening efficiency.

Triacylglycerol (TAG) is a major component of plant-neutral lipids. Diacylglycerol acyltransferase 2 (DGAT2) plays an important role in plant oil accumulation by catalyzing the final step of the Kennedy pathway. In this study, ten DGAT2 sequences were originating from different oil crops into the TAG-deficient yeast strain H1246, to compare their enzyme activity of oil synthesis and filter out potential amino acid residue sites for directed evolution.

Functional analyses in yeast have shown that certain s/a mRNA/mRNA and mRNA/lncRNA pairs form stable double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) that affect transcript stability. Little is known, however, about the genome-wide prevalence of dsRNA formation and its potential functional implications during growth and development in diploid budding yeast.

Although Pus1 is highly conserved, and mutations are associated with human disease, little is known about eukaryotic Pus1 biology. Here, we show that Schizosaccharomyces pombe pus1Δ mutants are temperature sensitive due to decay of tRNAIle(UAU), as tRNAIle(UAU) levels are reduced, and its overexpression suppresses the defect.

Copy-number variants (CNVs) are an important class of genetic variation that can mediate rapid adaptive evolution. Whereas CNVs can increase the relative fitness of the organism, they can also incur a cost due to the associated increased gene expression and repetitive DNA. We previously evolved populations of Saccharomyces cerevisiae over hundreds of generations in glutamine-limited (Gln-) chemostats and observed the recurrent evolution of CNVs at the GAP1 locus.
