Acidic beers, such as Belgian lambic beers and American and other coolship ales, are
becoming increasingly popular worldwide thanks to their refreshing acidity and fruity notes …

Despite the fact that sodium ions are necessary to assist in the function of specific
macromolecules (65), for most eukaryotic cells an elevated intracellular concentration of …

We quantified the growth behavior of all available single gene deletion strains of budding
yeast under ethanol stress. Genome-wide analyses enabled the extraction of the genes and …

A set of shuttle vectors was constructed to facilitate expression of genes for metabolic
engineering in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Selectable markers include the URA3, TRP1 …

Sodium dodecyl sulfate is a detergent that disrupts cell membranes, activates cell wall
integrity signaling and restricts cell growth in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. However, the …

Branched-chain alcohols are attractive advanced biofuels; however, their cellular toxicity is
an obstacle to engineering microbes to produce them at high titers. We performed genome …

Adenine auxotrophy is a commonly used genetic marker in haploid yeast strains. Strain
W303-1A, which carries the ade2-1 mutation, is widely used in physiological and genetic …

Alkaline pH stress invokes a potent and fast transcriptional response in Saccharomyces
cerevisiae that includes many genes repressed by glucose. Certain mutants in the glucose …

Exposure of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to alkaline pH provokes a stress condition that
generates a compensatory reaction. In the present study we examined a possible role for the …

First marketed as RoundUp, glyphosate is history's most popular herbicide because of its
low acute toxicity to metazoans and broad-spectrum effectiveness across plant species. The …
