The purpose of apoptosis in multicellular organisms is obvious: single cells die for the
benefit of the whole organism (for example, during tissue development or embryogenesis) …

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 …

We used transcriptional profiling to investigate the response of the fungal pathogen Candida
albicans to temperature and osmotic and oxidative stresses under conditions that permitted> …

In nature, Saccharomyces yeasts manifest a number of adaptive responses to overcome
adverse environments such as filamentation, invasive growth, flocculation and adherence to …

Heat-shock proteins (hsps) have been identified as molecular chaperones conserved
between microbes and man and grouped by their molecular mass and high degree of amino …

The aging of certain white wines is dependent on the presence of yeast strains that develop
a biofilm on the wine surface after the alcoholic fermentation. These strains belong to the …

Sardinian wine strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae used to make sherry-like wines form a
biofilm at the air-liquid interface at the end of ethanolic fermentation, when grape sugar is …

Regulation of the cell cycle and apoptosis are two eukaryotic processes required to ensure
maintenance of genomic integrity, especially in response to DNA damage. The ease with …

Saccharomyces yeasts have been used for millennia for the production of beer, wine, bread,
and other fermented products. Long-term “unconscious” selection and domestication led to …

Wine biological aging is a wine making process used to produce specific beverages in
several countries in Europe, including Spain, Italy, France, and Hungary. This process …
