Because of its profound effects on the rates of biological processes such as aerobic
metabolism, environmental temperature plays an important role in shaping the distribution …

Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains having a broad range of substrate utilization, rapid
substrate consumption, and conversion to ethanol, as well as good tolerance to inhibitory …

One of the key ways in which microbes are thought to regulate their metabolism is by
modulating the availability of enzymes through transcriptional regulation. However, the …

The viscoelasticity of the cytoplasm plays a critical role in cell morphology, cell division, and
intracellular transport. Viscoelasticity is also interconnected with other biophysical …

All organisms have evolved to cope with changes in environmental conditions, ensuring the
optimal combination of proliferation and survival. In yeast, exposure to a mild stress leads to …

Realistic quantitative models require data from many laboratories. Therefore,
standardization of experimental systems and assay conditions is crucial. Moreover …

Mitochondria are emerging as idealized targets for anti-cancer drugs. One reason for this is
that although these organelles are inherent to all cells, drugs are being developed that …

The conventional view is that high temperatures cause microorganisms to replicate slowly or
die. In this view, microorganisms autonomously combat heat-induced damages. However …

Supply of Gibbs free energy and precursors are vital for cellular function and cell metabolism
have evolved to be tightly regulated to balance their supply and consumption. Precursors …

The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae can show different metabolic phenotypes (eg
fermentation and respiration). Based on data from the literature, we argue that the substrate …
