While fungi are widely occupying nature, many species are responsible for devastating
mycosis in humans. Such niche diversity explains how quick fungal adaptation is necessary …

The multitude of applications to which Saccharomyces spp. are put makes these yeasts the
most prolific of industrial microorganisms. This review considers biological aspects …

Cells make decisions based on a combination of external and internal signals. In yeast, the
high osmolarity response (HOG) is a mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway that …

Osmotolerance or halotolerance are used to describe resistance to sugars and salt, or only
salt, respectively. Here, a comprehensive screen of more than 600 different yeast isolates …

The filamentous fungus Aspergillus fumigatus can cause a distinct set of clinical disorders in
humans. Invasive aspergillosis (IA) is the most common life-threatening fungal disease of …

Yeast physiology is temporally regulated, this becomes apparent under nutrient-limited
conditions and results in respiratory oscillations (YROs). YROs share features with circadian …

The dominating strains of most sugar‐based natural and industrial fermentations either
belong to Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Saccharomyces uvarum or are their chimeric …

Osmotic regulation is a vital homoeostatic process in all cells and tissues. Cells initially
respond to osmotic stresses by activating transmembrane transport proteins to move …

Lithium salts are used in the treatment of mood disorders, cancer, and Alzheimer's disease.
It has been shown to prolong life span in several phyla; however, not yet in budding yeast. In …

Cell growth is well described at the population level, but precisely how nutrient and water
uptake and cell wall expansion drive the growth of single cells is poorly understood …
