Characterization of Schizosaccharomyces pombe malate permease by expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Article Abstract:

Research has been conducted on the Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Results indicate that MAE1 gene expression in S. cerevisiae has increased L-malic acid uptake in this yeast.

Effects of GPD1 overexpression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae commercial wine yeast strains lacking ALD6 genes

Article Abstract:

The effects of overexpression of GPD1, coding for glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase was evaluated in Saccgharomyces cerevisiae commercial wine yeast strains in which the two copies of ALD6 encoding the [NADP.sup.+] -dependent [Mg.sup.2+] - activated cytosolic acetaldehyde dehydrogenase were deleted. Under wine fermentation conditions, the engineered industrials strains reveal fermentation performance and growth properties equivalent to those of the wild type.

Engineering a Saccharomyces cerevisiae wine yeast that exhibits reduced ethanol production during fermentation under controlled microoxygenation conditions

Article Abstract:

The worldwide demand for less alcoholic wines have spawned several processes for producing such wines all of which involve the selective extraction of ethanol making the procedures expensive and difficult as well as negatively affecting the flavor balance. A biological alternative would be to use yeast strains that give low ethanol yields and the attempts made to reduce the ethanol yield of 'Saccharomyces cerevisiae' through genetic engineering are discussed.
