The conversion of grape sugar to ethanol and carbon dioxide is the primary biochemical
reaction in alcoholic wine fermentation, but microbial interactions, as well as complex …

The cell wall of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is an elastic structure that provides osmotic and
physical protection and determines the shape of the cell. The inner layer of the wall is largely …

An extracellular matrix composed of a layered meshwork of β-glucans, chitin, and
mannoproteins encapsulates cells of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This organelle …

In this review, we discuss new insights in cell wall architecture and cell wall construction in
the ascomycetous yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Transcriptional profiling studies …

Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a superb ethanol producer, yet is also sensitive to higher
ethanol concentrations especially under high gravity or very high gravity fermentation …

Fermentation predictability and wine quality are directly dependent on wine yeast attributes
that assist in the rapid establishment of numerical dominance in the early phase of wine …

When conditions cause bacterial growth to stop, extensive reprogramming of physiology and
gene expression allows for the cell's survival. We used whole‐genome DNA arrays to …

The transcriptome of a wine yeast was monitored throughout an alcoholic fermentation
under conditions mimicking an enological environment. Major changes in gene expression …

Alcoholic fermentation is one of the main phases in wine production. It is usually conducted
by yeasts belonging to the species Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Industrial S. cerevisiae …

Perturbations of the yeast cell wall trigger a repair mechanism that reconfigures its molecular
structure to preserve cell integrity. To investigate this mechanism, we compared the global …
