The use of novel yeast strains for winemaking improves quality and provides variety including subtle characteristic differences in fine wines. Here we report the first genome of a yeast strain native to Uruguay, Hanseniaspora ...

Aims: To study genomic and phenotypic changes in wine yeasts produced in short time periods analysing yeast strains possibly derived from commercial strains recently dispersed. Methods and Results: We conducted a genomic ...

Ethanol production from sugarcane is a key renewable fuel industry in Brazil. Major drivers of this alcoholic fermentation are Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains that originally were contaminants to the system and yet prevail ...

The analysis of transcriptional temporal noise could be an interesting means to study gene expression dynamics and stochasticity in eukaryotes. To study the statistical distributions of temporal noise in the eukaryotic ...

Yeasts are unicellular fungi that do not form fruiting bodies.Although the yeast lifestyle has evolved multiple times, mostknown species belong to the subphylum Saccharomycotina(syn. Hemiascomycota, hereafter yeasts). This ...

Beer is one of the oldest alcoholic beverages and is produced by the fermentation of sugars derived from starches present in cereal grains. Contrary to lager beers, made by bottom-fermenting strains of Saccharomyces ...

Cold environments impose challenges to organisms. Polyextremophile microorganisms can survive in these conditions thanks to an array of counteracting mechanisms. Naganishia vishniacii, a yeast species hitherto only isolated ...
