Background Biofilms are microorganisms community embedded in the self-secreted
extracellular polymeric substances, which can provide microbes with strong tolerance and …

In natural environments, microorganisms form microbial aggregates called biofilms able to
adhere to a multitude of different surfaces. Yeasts make no exception to this rule, being able …

Flor yeast velum is a biofilm formed by certain yeast strains that distinguishes biologically
aged wines such as Sherry wine from southern Spain from others. Although Saccharomyces …

Sustainable bioproduction using carbon neutral feedstocks, especially lignocellulosic
biomass, has attracted increasing attention due to concern over climate change and carbon …

The expression of functional proteins on the cell surface using glycosylphosphatidylinositol
(GPI)-anchoring technology is a promising approach for constructing yeast cells with special …

When lignocellulosic biomass is utilized as a fermentative substrate to produce
biochemicals, the existence of a yeast strain resistant to inhibitory chemical compounds …

Saccharomyces cerevisiae immobilization is commonly used for efficient ethanol fuel
production in industry due to the relatively higher ethanol stress resistance of S. cerevisiae …

The structure of yeast cell wall (CW) mannoproteins (MPs) influences their impact on wine
properties. Yeast species produce a diverse range of MPs, but the link between properties …

Modern industrial winemaking is based on the use of starter cultures of specialized wine
strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast. Commercial wine strains have a number of …

Flor yeast strains represent a specialized group of Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeasts used
for the production of sherry-like wines by biological wine aging. We sequenced the genome …
