Harnessing Brazilian microbial diversity, comprehensive phenotypic screening of 79 yeast isolates identified non-conventional strains with superior multi-stress tolerance and metabolic versatility co...

The knockout strain collection of Saccharomyces cerevisiae has served as a valuable resource for functional genomics and yeast-based biotechnology studies. A comprehensive single-gene knockout strain...

Comparative genomic analyses identified substantial sequence and structural differences between transcription factors from Spathaspora passalidarum and their Saccharomyces cerevisiae counterparts. He...

We present cryoBN-PAGE, a method that enables blue native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis of mitochondrial respiratory complexes and supercomplexes directly from whole yeast cells using c...

Yeasts are widespread members of microbial communities across terrestrial, aquatic, and host-associated environments, yet they remain underrepresented in microbiome studies due to low abundance and m....

Endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT-III) is a membrane remodeling complex involved in a large number of cellular processes. It appears to perform an essential function in eukaryot...

Abstract. Horizontal Gene Transfer (HGT) is the movement of genetic material across species. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a DNA segment known as Region B w

Applications of transposon-based tools for genome engineering in fungi include transposon-mediated mutagenesis and targeted genomic integration.

Genome-wide signal peptide screening identified a novel Ogataea polymorpha α-mating factor-like peptide (FUN_005010) that markedly improved recombinant thermophilic xylanase X11P secretion. Combined ....

The genus Nakaseomyces provides four species that are closely related but have different characteristics. For example, N. glabratus (formerly known as Candida glabrata) is a common human pathogen, wh...

The glucose repression system is a mechanism for effective energy acquisition by glucose assimilation in microorganisms. In yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which is known as a prion-like protein [GA...

This work introduces a novel approach for analysing long repetitive genomic sequences, combining a method to isolate large DNA molecules from individual chromosomes. We also describe the bioinformati...

All organisms must be able to sense and respond to adverse environments, especially those that threaten cellular integrity. The age of genomics clarified the breadth and specificity of cellular stres...

The evolution of the yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, from a genetically tractable model organism to a chassis for genome-scale engineering represents one of the most influential trajectories in euka....

Yeast flocculation is a phenomenon in which yeast zymolectins bind to mannose on adjacent cells resulting in aggregation within fermentation media. Flocculation has been extensively studied and is of...

Methylotrophic yeasts such as Pichia pastoris are widely used for heterologous protein production because they contain strong and tightly regulated promoters. However, the use of methanol as an induc...

The Schizosaccharomyces orthogroup (SOG) resource is a freely accessible web platform for fission yeast comparative genomics. It enables visualization of orthogroup alignments and phylogenetic trees,....

The survival period of yeast is determined by the type of nutrients they starved of. GR extends lifespan by avoiding auxotrophic starvation. Auxotrophic starvation causes degenerative cellular charac...

The molecular mechanisms allowing organisms to adapt to new telomeric sequences remain poorly understood. Here, the authors engineer multiple yeast lines with human-like telomeric repeats to unveil th...

A large set of intraspecific yeast hybrids was constructed using two strategies that yielded series of hybrids with variable ploidy. Phenotyping of the hybrids was carried out in high-stress media to....

Given the biotechnological potential of yeast-derived oils for oleochemical production, genes encoding lipid metabolism enzymes are key targets for metabolic engineering. Genetic engineering tools su...

Matos et al. use genetic approaches in Saccharomyces cerevisiae to show toxicity of different furanic compounds can be modulated via regulation of surface nutrient transporters. Distinct furanic comp....

This study aimed to isolate, identify, and evaluate yeasts originating from urban honeys as potential starters for mead production. Honey samples from urban apiaries from Poland were analyzed. A tota...

Candidozyma cisalpinoae sp. nov. represents a distinct species within the Candidozyma clade, supported by multilocus phylogeny, genome-scale metrics, and phenotypic traits. Although isolated from flo...

To maintain the integrity of the genome, cells have evolved a complex signalling system, termed the DNA damage response (DDR), which detects DNA damage and promotes DNA repair. To date, over 600 prot....

Yeast is a microbiology journal for research in the rapidly moving field of yeast biology. We publish the most significant developments in unicellular fungi.

Evolutionarily related ‘proto-point’ centromeres providing resolution to the evolutionary origins of point centromeres are identified in yeast, and comparison shows they evolved in an ancestor with re...
