Yca1 metacaspase: diverse functions determine how yeast live and let die.
Published in FEMS yeast research
The Yca1 metacaspase was discovered due to its role in the regulation of apoptosis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. However, the mechanisms that drive apoptosis in yeast remain poorly understood. Additionally, Yca1 and other metacaspase proteins have recently been recognized for their involvement in other cellular processes, including cellular proteost...

Metformin extends the chronological lifespan of fission yeast by altering energy metabolism and stress resistance capaci...
Published in FEMS Yeast Research
Metformin increases the lifespan of fission yeast, as seen in various organisms, by increasing glucose consumption and energy production, reducing oxidative damage and providing resistance to stress, and it also shows this effect in glucose-free medium.
The chromosomal evolutionary lineage of the genus Zygosaccharomyces.
Published in FEMS yeast research
Genome ploidy of Zygosaccharomyces rouxii is an intriguing topic in the field of industrial yeast research. However, the evolutionary relationship between the genome of Z. rouxii and other Zygosaccharomyces species is complex and not completely understood. In this study, we determined the genome sequences of Z. rouxii NCYC 3042, also referred to as...

How to think about and do successful research What you probable did not learn when you first entered the laboratory.
Published in FEMS yeast research
There is a logic to doing successful research, but graduate students and indeed postdoctoral fellows and young independent investigators often learn it apprentice style, by experience. The purpose of this essay is to provide the product of that experience and advice that I have found useful to young researchers as they begin their training and care...
Mixed yeast communities contribute to regionally distinct wine attributes.
Published in FEMS yeast research
There is evidence that vineyard yeast communities are regionally differentiated, but the extent to which this contributes to wine regional distinctiveness is not yet clear. This study represents the first experimental test of the hypothesis that mixed yeast communities-comprising multiple, region-specific, isolates, and species-contribute to region...
Elevated energy costs of biomass production in mitochondrial respiration-deficient Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Published in FEMS Yeast Research
In the article, the authors blended computational modeling with experimental measurements to identify additional energy costs for growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae when it cannot use respiration for energy generation.
