Although less prevalent than its relative Candida albicans, the yeast Candida glabrata is a successful pathogen of humans which causes life-threatening candidiasis. It is thus vital to understand the pathogenicity mechanisms and contributing genes in C. glabrata. However, gene complementation as a tool for restoring the function of a previously del...

Kluyveromyces marxianus is a thermotolerant, ethanol-producing yeast that requires oxygen for efficient ethanol fermentation. Under anaerobic conditions, glucose consumption and ethanol production are retarded, suggesting that oxygen affects the metabolic state of K. marxianus. Mitochondria require oxygen to function, and their forms and number var...

Dysfunction or capacity shortage of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is cumulatively called ER stress and provokes the unfolded protein response (UPR). In various yeast species, the ER-located transmembrane protein Ire1 is activated upon ER stress and performs the splicing reaction of HAC1 mRNA, the mature form of which is translated into a transcrip...

The yeast Lachancea thermotolerans is of significant biotechnological interest, and selected strains of this species have become commonly used starter cultures in wine fermentation. However, the impact of this species on wine is frequently limited by the rapid dominance of Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains which are better adapted to wine alcoholic ...

Ustilago maydis is a Basidiomycota fungus, in which very little is known about its mechanisms of cell survival and death. To date, only the role of metacaspase1, acetate and hydrogen peroxide as inducers of cell death has been investigated. In the present work, we analyzed the lifespan of U. maydis compared with other species like Sporisorium reili...

Yarrowia lipolytica is a yeast with many talents, one of them being the production of citric acid. Although the citrate biosynthesis is well studied, little is known about the transport mechanism by which citrate is exported. To gain better insight into this mechanism, we set out to identify a transporter involved in citrate export of Y. lipolytica...

Aureobasidium pullulans is the most abundant and ubiquitous species within the genus and is also considered a core component of the grape juice microflora. So far, a small number of other Aureobasidium species have been reported, that in contrast to A. pullulans, appear far more constrained to specific habitats. It is unknown whether grape juice is...

The adapted industrial yeast strain Saccharomyces cerevisiae NRRL Y-50049 is able to in situ detoxify major toxic aldehyde compounds derived from sugar conversion of lignocellulosic biomass while producing ethanol. Pathway-based studies on its mechanisms of tolerance have been reported previously, however, little is known about transposable element...

The present study is an attempt to determine the lipid composition of Candida auris and to highlight if the changes in lipids can be correlated to high drug resistance encountered in C. auris. For this, the comparative lipidomics landscape between drug-susceptible (CBS10913T) and a resistant hospital isolate (NCCPF_470033) of C. auris was determine...

Bioethanol production from starchy biomass via consolidated bioprocessing (CBP) will benefit from amylolytic Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains that produce high levels of recombinant amylases. This could be achieved by using strong promoters and modification thereof to improve gene expression under industrial conditions. This study evaluated eight e...
