The pH-regulated expression of the acid (AXP) and alkaline (AEP) extracellular proteases of the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica 148 was analysed. Expression in batch and continuous cultures was determined at the mRNA level by Northern blotting, and at the enzyme level by enzyme assays and Western blotting. Culture pH regulated AEP and AXP expression predominantly at the level of mRNA content. Highest levels of AEP mRNA were detected at pH 6.5 whereas highest levels of AXP mRNA were detected at pH 5.5. At pH values either side of these maxima AEP and AXP expression were progressively down-regulated. For both enzymes, the variation in mRNA levels with culture pH occurred progressively rather than by discrete steps. AXP expression did not occur above pH 7.0. Some degree of AEP expression occurred at all pH values tested in two unrelated strains of Y. lipolytica.

Background: Although currently most widely used in mechanical ventilation and cardiopulmonary resuscitation, features of the carbon dioxide (CO) waveform produced through capnometry have been shown to correlate with V/Q mismatch, dead space volume, type of breathing pattern, and small airway obstruction. This study applied feature engineering and machine learning techniques to capnography data collected by the N-Tidal™ device across four clinical studies to build a classifier that could distinguish CO recordings (capnograms) of patients with COPD from those without COPD.
Methods: Capnography data from four longitudinal observational studies (CBRS, GBRS, CBRS2 and ABRS) was analysed from 295 patients, generating a total of 88,186 capnograms.

To establish successful infections in host plants, pathogenic fungi must sense and respond to an array of stresses, such as oxidative stress. In this study, we systematically analyzed the effects of 30 mM HO treatment on reactive oxygen species (ROS) metabolism in . Results showed that 30 mM HO treatment lead to increased O generation rate and HO content, and simultaneously, increased the activities and transcript levels of NADPH oxidase (NOX).

Purine auxotrophy is an abundant trait among eukaryotic parasites and a typical marker for many budding yeast strains. Supplementation with an additional purine source (such as adenine) is necessary to cultivate these strains. If not supplied in adequate amounts, purine starvation sets in.

Background: Yeast strains that are tolerant to multiple environmental stresses are highly desired for various industrial applications. Despite great efforts in identifying key genes involved in stress tolerance of budding yeast , the effects of de novo purine biosynthesis genes on yeast stress tolerance are still not well explored. Our previous studies showed that zinc sulfate addition improved yeast acetic acid tolerance, and key genes involved in yeast stress tolerance were further investigated in this study.
