The involvement of histone acetylation in facilitating gene expression is well-established, particularly in the case of histones H3 and H4. It was previously shown in Saccharomyces cerevisiae that gene expression was ...

English: Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA)-sensitive 3-hydroxy (3-OH) oxylipins were uncovered in 1991 in the yeast Dipodascopsis uninucleata. Since then, various similar oxylipins were found to be widely distributed in fungi. ...

English: Literature shows that Cryptococcus neoformans is an important human pathogen responsible for many deaths worldwide. To compound this, treatment of cryptococcal infections has over the years been difficult. This ...

English: In this study, the construction of a forecasting model, using intracellular fatty acid composition as indicator, was attempted to assist in the search for yeasts capable of producing 3-hydroxy oxylipins. In order ...

Arxula adeninivorans strain LS3, a dimorphic yeast with potential for biotechnological applications, has in recent years has been studied for the production of heterologous proteins. The growth kinetics of this species and ...

The eukaryotic genome is functionally organized into a highly ordered nucleoprotein structure, chromatin. Apart from the four nucleosomal core histones, the linker histone is pivotal to fluidity and compaction of chromatin. ...

Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450) are a diverse, ubiquitous family of important enzymes which catalyze a variety of activities. Their outstanding abilities to hydroxylate non-activated hydrocarbons make them attractive ...

English: As the initiative for establishing a yeast culture collection began in the early 1980’s in the department of Microbial, Biochemical and Food Biotechnology, research pertaining to the identification of isolates ...

English: It has previously been implicated in literature that intracellular gas bubbles cannot form in yeast cells even under high gas supersaturation conditions. Furthermore, not even protein-coated gas vesicles found ...
