Transport across the plasma membrane is the first step at which nutrient supply is tightly
regulated in response to intracellular needs and often also rapidly changing external …

Abstract The Synthetic Yeast Genome Project (Sc 2.0) represents the first foray into
eukaryotic genome engineering and a framework for designing and building the next …

Brettanomyces yeasts have gained popularity in many sectors of the biotechnological
industry, specifically in the field of beer production, but also in wine and ethanol production …

It has been known for a long time that the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae can assimilate α-
methylglucopyranoside and isomaltose. We here report the identification of 5 genes …

Many relevant options to improve efficacy and kinetics of sucrose metabolism in
Saccharomyces cerevisiae and, thereby, the economics of sucrose-based processes remain …

The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae IMA multigene family encodes four isomaltases
sharing high sequence identity from 65% to 99%. Here, we explore their functional diversity …

Background The brewer's yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is exploited in several industrial
processes, ranging from food and beverage fermentation to the production of biofuels …

Saccharomyces pastorianus, hybrids of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Saccharomyces
eubayanus, were generally regarded as authentic lager beer yeasts. In recent years, with …

Saccharomyces cerevisiae maltases use maltose, maltulose, turanose and maltotriose as
substrates, isomaltases use isomaltose, α‐methylglucoside and palatinose and both use …

Genomic clustering of functionally related genes is rare in yeasts and other eukaryotes with
only few examples available. Here, we summarize our data on a nontelomeric MAL cluster …
