Open AccessNatural allelic variations of Saccharomyces cerevisiae impact stuck fermentation due to the combined effect of ethanol and temperature; a QTL-map** study
Fermentation completion is a major prerequisite in many industrial processes involving the bakery yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Stuck fermentations can be due to the combination of many environmental stresses. ...

A Gondwanan imprint on global diversity and domestication of wine and cider yeast Saccharomyces uvarum
In addition to Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the cryotolerant yeast species S. uvarum is also used for wine and cider fermentation but nothing is known about its natural history. Here we use a population genomics app...

Open AccessThe complete genome of Blastobotrys (Arxula) adeninivorans LS3 - a yeast of biotechnological interest
The industrially important yeast Blastobotrys (Arxula) adeninivorans is an asexual hemiascomycete phylogenetically very distant from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Its unusual metabolic flexibility allows it to use a ...

Open AccessComparative genomics of emerging pathogens in the Candida glabrata clade
Candida glabrata follows C. albicans as the second or third most prevalent cause of candidemia worldwide. These two pathogenic yeasts are distantly related, C. glabrata being part of the Nakaseomyces, a group mor...

Open AccessGenome-wide computational prediction of tandem gene arrays: application in yeasts
This paper describes an efficient in silico method for detecting tandem gene arrays (TGAs) in fully sequenced and compact genomes such as those of prokaryotes or unicellular eukaryotes. The originality of this me...

Genome evolution in yeasts
Identifying the mechanisms of eukaryotic genome evolution by comparative genomics is often complicated by the multiplicity of events that have taken place throughout the history of individual lineages, leaving...

Heterologous insertion of transforming DNA and generation of new deletions associated with transformation in Aspergillus nidulans
The analysis of four transformants for the proline catabolism (prn) gene cluster of Aspergillus nidulans is reported. Using a combination of traditional genetic methodology and Southern hybridisation we have show...

The phenoloxidases of the ascomycete Podospora anserina: The three forms of the major laccase activity
In Podospora anserina three laccase activities (I, II and III) were identified. Present results show the existence of an additional lacaase (an anodic protein; MW 80,000; Rf 0.07). Laccase IV derived from the dis...
