Organisms throughout the tree of life accumulate chemical resources, in particular forms or
compartments, to secure their availability for future use. Here we review microbial storage …

Microorganisms have the capacity to utilize a variety of nutrients and adapt to continuously
changing environmental conditions. Many microorganisms, including yeast and bacteria …

We explored genomic expression patterns in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae
responding to diverse environmental transitions. DNA microarrays were used to measure …

Aim: The polysaccharide composition of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell wall was
measured under various growth conditions and was compared with the cell wall structure …

During brewery handling, production strains of yeast must respond to fluctuations in
dissolved oxygen concentration, pH, osmolarity, ethanol concentration, nutrient supply and …

Abstract Background Real-time RT-PCR is the recommended method for quantitative gene
expression analysis. A compulsory step is the selection of good reference genes for …

Glycogen and trehalose are the two glucose stores of yeast cells. The large variations in the
cell content of these two compounds in response to different environmental changes …

The transcriptional response to environmental changes is a major topic in both basic and
applied research. From a basic point of view, to understand this response includes …

We have analyzed the transcriptional response to osmotic shock in the yeast
Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The mRNA level of 186 genes increased at least 3-fold after a …

The virulence to insects and tolerance to heat and UV-B radiation of conidia of
entomopathogenic fungi are greatly influenced by physical, chemical, and nutritional …
