Bioconversion of lignocellulosic biomass to biofuels such as bioethanol and high value-
added products has attracted great interest in recent decades due to the carbon neutral …

In plants, reactive oxygen species and, more particularly, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) play a
dual role as toxic by-products of normal cell metabolism and as regulatory molecules in …

Eukaryotic cells respond to low-oxygen concentrations by upregulating hypoxic nuclear
genes (hypoxic signaling). Although it has been shown previously that the mitochondrial …

We show that genes with rapidly changing expression levels in response to stress contain
significantly lower intron densities in yeasts, thale cress and mice. Therefore, we propose …

Yeast‐mediated dough fermentation is an important phase in the bread making process.
The fermentative performance of yeast cells during fermentation is of critical importance for …

The specific pH values of cellular compartments affect virtually all biochemical processes,
including enzyme activity, protein folding and redox state. Accurate, sensitive and …

Unicellular organisms such as yeast have evolved to survive constant fluctuations in their
external surroundings by rapidly adapting their internal systems to meet the challenges of …

Lignocellulose-based biorefineries have been gaining increasing attention to substitute
current petroleum-based refineries. Biomass processing requires a pretreatment step to …

Global inhibition of protein synthesis is a common response to stress conditions. We have
analyzed the regulation of protein synthesis in response to oxidative stress induced by …

Hundreds of different proteins regulate and implement transcription in Saccharomyces. Yet
their interrelationships have not been investigated on a comprehensive scale. Here we …
