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. ...

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 ...

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. ...

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 ...

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 ...

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English: Previous unpublished research by Kock and co-workers indicated that the antimalarial drug chloroquine (CQ) stimulates yeast sexual stages (biosensors). Consequently several indicator yeasts (Eremothecium ashbyi, ...

A great deal of research in cheese technology is devoted towards the manipulation of glycolysis, lipolysis and proteolysis in order to accelerate ripening times or to improve flavour. There is increasing evidence that ...

English: In the past few decades much research has been conducted on yeast alcohol dehydrogenases with emphasis on their role in S. cerevisiae. There are seven known Adh proteins that were identified in S. cerevisiae. ...
