Fuel ethanol fermentation process is a complex environment with an intensive succession of yeast strains. The population stability
depends on the use of a well-adapted strain that can fit to a particular industrial plant. This stability helps to keep high
level of ethanol yield and it is absolutely required when intending to use recombinant strains. Yeast strains have been previously
isolated from different distilleries in Northeast Brazil and clustered in genetic strains by PCR-fingerprinting. In this report
we present the isolation and selection of a novel Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain by its high dominance in the yeast population. The new strain, JP1 strain, presented practically the same fermentative
capacity and stress tolerance like the most used commercial strains, with advantages of being highly adapted to different
industrial units in Northeast Brazil that used sugar cane juice as substrate. Moreover, it presented higher transformation
efficiency that pointed out its potential for genetic manipulations. The importance of this strain selection programme for
ethanol production is discussed. 相似文献

The term 'sake yeast' is generally used to indicate the Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains that possess characteristics distinct from others including the laboratory strain S288C and are well suited for sake brewery. Here, we report the draft whole-genome shotgun sequence of a commonly used diploid sake yeast strain, Kyokai no. 7 (K7). The assembled sequence of K7 was nearly identical to that of the S288C, except for several subtelomeric polymorphisms and two large inversions in K7. A survey of heterozygous bases between the homologous chromosomes revealed the presence of mosaic-like uneven distribution of heterozygosity in K7. The distribution patterns appeared to have resulted from repeated losses of heterozygosity in the ancestral lineage of K7. Analysis of genes revealed the presence of both K7-acquired and K7-lost genes, in addition to numerous others with segmentations and terminal discrepancies in comparison with those of S288C. The distribution of Ty element also largely differed in the two strains. Interestingly, two regions in chromosomes I and VII of S288C have apparently been replaced by Ty elements in K7. Sequence comparisons suggest that these gene conversions were caused by cDNA-mediated recombination of Ty elements. The present study advances our understanding of the functional and evolutionary genomics of the sake yeast. 相似文献

AbstractDuring industrial fermentation, wild isolates are able to persist and even predominate in the bioreactors. Saccharomyces cerevisiae CAT-1 was one of these isolates and now is one of the yeasts mostly used in industrial ethanol processes in Brazil due to its efficient fermentation capacity. Despite it, the strain’s physiology has been marginally studied so far. Since strains of the same species may have different responses to a specific cultivation condition, this work aimed to evaluate the physiology of S. cerevisiae CAT-1 in batch cultures using different carbon sources (glucose, fructose, sucrose, maltose, and galactose) as a sole carbon source and in binary mixtures, at 30 and 37?°C. The results showed that the fructose, sucrose, and maltose were the sugars that presented the highest ethanol yields on the substrate (0.40?g ethanol g substrate?1) at both temperatures. Galactose was the sugar that the yeast had the lowest affinity given the lowest maximum specific growth rate (0.28?h ?1). Despite the influence of a variety of mechanisms for sugar transport, the cells consume first substrates with fewer metabolic steps to catabolism and are susceptible to adaptive evolution depending on the availability of substrate. 相似文献

Bakers' yeast-producing companies grow cells under respiratory conditions, at a very high growth rate. Some desirable properties of bakers' yeast may be altered if fermentation rather than respiration occurs during biomass production. That is why differences in gene expression patterns that take place when industrial bakers' yeasts are grown under fermentative, rather than respiratory conditions, were examined. Macroarray analysis of V1 strain indicated changes in gene expression similar to those already described in laboratory Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains: repression of most genes related to respiration and oxidative metabolism and derepression of genes related to ribosome biogenesis and stress resistance in fermentation. Under respiratory conditions, genes related to the glyoxylate and Krebs cycles, respiration, gluconeogenesis, and energy production are activated. DOG21 strain, a partly catabolite-derepressed mutant derived from V1, displayed gene expression patterns quite similar to those of V1, although lower levels of gene expression and changes in fewer number of genes as compared to V1 were both detected in all cases. However, under fermentative conditions, DOG21 mutant significantly increased the expression of SNF1 -controlled genes and other genes involved in stress resistance, whereas the expression of the HXK2 gene, involved in catabolite repression, was considerably reduced, according to the pleiotropic stress-resistant phenotype of this mutant. These results also seemed to suggest that stress-resistant genes control desirable bakers' yeast qualities. 相似文献

Human intervention has subjected the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae to multiple rounds of independent domestication and thousands of generations of artificial selection. As a result, this species comprises a genetically diverse collection of natural isolates as well as domesticated strains that are used in specific industrial applications. However the scope of genetic diversity that was captured during the domesticated evolution of the industrial representatives of this important organism remains to be determined. To begin to address this, we have produced whole-genome assemblies of six commercial strains of S. cerevisiae (four wine and two brewing strains). These represent the first genome assemblies produced from S. cerevisiae strains in their industrially-used forms and the first high-quality assemblies for S. cerevisiae strains used in brewing. By comparing these sequences to six existing high-coverage S. cerevisiae genome assemblies, clear signatures were found that defined each industrial class of yeast. This genetic variation was comprised of both single nucleotide polymorphisms and large-scale insertions and deletions, with the latter often being associated with ORF heterogeneity between strains. This included the discovery of more than twenty probable genes that had not been identified previously in the S. cerevisiae genome. Comparison of this large number of S. cerevisiae strains also enabled the characterization of a cluster of five ORFs that have integrated into the genomes of the wine and bioethanol strains on multiple occasions and at diverse genomic locations via what appears to involve the resolution of a circular DNA intermediate. This work suggests that, despite the scrutiny that has been directed at the yeast genome, there remains a significant reservoir of ORFs and novel modes of genetic transmission that may have significant phenotypic impact in this important model and industrial species. 相似文献

Background Two categories of introns are known, a common U2 type and a rare U12 type. These two types of introns are removed by distinct spliceosomes. The phylogenetic distribution of spliceosomal RNAs that are characteristic of the U12 spliceosome, i.e. the U11, U12, U4atac and U6atac RNAs, suggest that U12 spliceosomes were lost in many phylogenetic groups. We have now examined the distribution of U2 and U12 introns in many of these groups. Results U2 and U12 introns were predicted by making use of available EST and genomic sequences. The results show that in species or branches where U12 spliceosomal components are missing, also U12 type of introns are lacking. Examples are the choanoflagellate Monosiga brevicollis, Entamoeba histolytica, green algae, diatoms, and the fungal lineage Basidiomycota. Furthermore, whereas U12 splicing does not occur in Caenorhabditis elegans, U12 introns as well as U12 snRNAs are present in Trichinella spiralis, which is deeply branching in the nematode tree. A comparison of homologous genes in T. spiralis and C. elegans revealed different mechanisms whereby U12 introns were lost. Conclusions The phylogenetic distribution of U12 introns and spliceosomal RNAs give further support to an early origin of U12 dependent splicing. In addition, this distribution identifies a large number of instances during eukaryotic evolution where such splicing was lost. 相似文献

The fermentation performance of industrial yeast strains is influenced, among other things, by their genetic composition and the nature of the fermentable sugar, availability of nitrogen, and temperature. Therefore, to manipulate the fermentation process, it is important to understand, at a molecular level, the changes occurring in the yeast cell throughout industrial fermentation processes. With this aim in mind, using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and matrix-assisted laser desorption time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS), we have examined the proteome of distillers yeast in an industrial context. Using yeast sampled from a local grain whisky distillery, we have prepared a detailed reference map of the proteome of distillers yeast and have examined in some detail the alterations in protein levels that occur throughout fermentation. In particular, as fermentation progresses, there is a significant increase in the levels of a variety of proteins involved in protecting against stress and nitrogen limitation. These results therefore give an insight into the stresses that yeast are exposed to in industrial fermentations and reveal some of the proteins and enzymes that are either necessary or important for efficient fermentation. 相似文献

To produce an industrial strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae that metabolizes xylose, we constructed a rDNA integration vector and YIp integration vector, containing the xylose-utilizing genes, XYL1 and XYL2, which encode xylose reductase (XR) and xylitol dehydrogenase (XDH) from Pichia stipitis, and XKS1, which encodes xylulokinase (XK) from S. cerevisiae, with the G418 resistance gene KanMX as a dominant selectable marker. The rDNA results in integration of multiple copies of the target genes. The industrial stain of S. cerevisiae NAN-27 was transformed with the two integration vectors to produce two recombinant strains, S. cerevisiae NAN-127 and NAN-123. Upon transformation, multiple copies of the xylose-utilizing genes were integrated into the genome rDNA locus of S. cerevisiae. Strain NAN-127 consumed twice as much xylose and produced 39% more ethanol than the parent strain, while NAN-123 consumed 10% more xylose and produced 10% more ethanol than the parent strain over 94 h. 相似文献

Ag + biosorption by an industrial strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was investigated. Older (96 h old) biomass had half the biosorption capacity of younger (24 h old) biomass (0.187 and 0.387
mmol Ag +/g dry mass respectively). Comparisons of cell walls isolated from biomass of either age indicated that chemical composition
and Ag + biosorption capacity varied little over the time span examined and that cell walls from either age of culture had small Ag + biosorption capacities compared to whole cells of a similar age. Silver-containing precipitates were observed both on the
cell wall and within the cell, indicating that intracellular components sorbed Ag +. The concentration of these precipitates within the cell appeared visually to decrease with age in Ag +-exposed cells. Incorporation of L-cysteine into the growth medium resulted in biomass with increased silver biosorption capacities, protein and sulphydryl
group content. Increasing the concentration of L-cysteine in the growth medium from 0 to 5.0 mM increased silver biosorption from 0.389 to 0.556 mmol Ag +/g dry mass Isolated cell walls of biomass grown in supplemented media also showed a possible link between silver biosorption
capacities, protein and sulphydryl group content. No precipitates were observed in silver-exposed biomass that had been grown
in the presence of 5.0 mM L-cysteine.

AIMS: To compare the fermentative capacity of wild and domesticated isolates of the genus Saccharomyces. METHODS AND RESULTS: The fermentative capacity of yeasts from a variety of wild and domesticated sources was tested in synthetic dough media that mimic major bread dough types. Domesticated yeast strains were found to have better maltose-utilizing capacity than wild yeast strains. The capacity to ferment sugars under high osmotic stress was randomly distributed amongst wild and baking strains of Saccharomyces. CONCLUSION: The domestication of bakers' yeast has enhanced the ability of yeasts to ferment maltose, without a similar impact on the fermentative capacity under high osmotic conditions. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: This study, combined with molecular studies of both wild and domesticated yeast, showed that domestication of bakers' yeast has resulted in improved maltose utilization, apparently via the duplication and mutation of the MAL genes. 相似文献

The gene mel1, encoding alpha-galactosidase in Schizosaccharomyces pombe, and the gene bgl2, encoding and beta-glucosidase in Trichoderma reesei, were isolated and co-expressed in the industrial ethanol-producing strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The resulting strains were able to grow on cellobiose and melibiose through simultaneous production of sufficient extracellular alpha-galactosidase and beta-glucosidase activity. Under aerobic conditions, the growth rate of the recombinant strain GC 1 co-expressing 2 genes could achieve 0.29 OD600 h(-1) and a biomass yield up to 7.8 g l(-1) dry cell weight on medium containing 10.0 g l(-1) cellobiose and 10.0 g l(-1) melibiose as sole carbohydrate source. Meanwhile, the new strain of S. cerevisiae CG 1 demonstrated the ability to directly produce ethanol from microcrystalline cellulose during simultaneous saccharification and fermentation process. Approximately 36.5 g l(-1) ethanol was produced from 100 g of cellulose supplied with 5 g l(-1) melibose within 60 h. The yield (g of ethanol produced/g of carbohydrate consumed) was 0.44 g/g, which corresponds to 88.0% of the theoretical yield. 相似文献

Industrial production of lignocellulosic ethanol requires a microorganism utilizing both hexose and pentose, and tolerating inhibitors. In this study, a hydrolysate-cofermenting Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain was obtained through one step in vivo DNA assembly of pentose-metabolizing pathway genes, followed by consecutive adaptive evolution in pentose media containing acetic acid, and direct screening in biomass hydrolysate media. The strain was able to coferment glucose and xylose in synthetic media with the respective maximal specific rates of glucose and xylose consumption, and ethanol production of 3.47, 0.38 and 1.62 g/g DW/h, with an ethanol titre of 41.07 g/L and yield of 0.42 g/g. Industrial wheat straw hydrolysate fermentation resulted in maximal specific rates of glucose and xylose consumption, and ethanol production of 2.61, 0.54 and 1.38 g/g DW/h, respectively, with an ethanol titre of 54.11 g/L and yield of 0.44 g/g. These are among the best for wheat straw hydrolysate fermentation through separate hydrolysis and cofermentation. 相似文献

When cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae were grown aerobically under glucose-repressed conditions, ethanol production displayed a hyperbolic relationship over a
limited range of magnesium concentrations up to around 0.5 mM. A similar relationship existed between available Mg 2+ and ethanol yield, but over a narrower range of Mg 2+ concentrations. Cellular demand for Mg 2+ during fermentation was reflected in the accumulation patterns of Mg 2+ by yeast cells from the growth medium. Entry of cells into the stationary growth phase and the time of maximum ethanol and
minimum sugar concentration correlated with a period of maximum Mg 2+ transport by yeast cells. The timing of Mg 2+ transport fluxes by S. cerevisiae is potentially useful when conditioning yeast seed inocula prior to alcohol fermentations.

A high cell density strategy has been used in bioethanol production to shorten the fermentation period. To reveal the molecular
basis of fermentative behavior in high cell density, the profiling of the phospholipids and sterols of Saccharomyces cerevisiae during fermentation at five different pitching rates (1, 5, 10, 20, and 40 g/L) was investigated. Using LC/ESI/MS n technology, 148 phospholipid species were detected, of which 91 species were quantified, and using the gas chromatography–time-of-flight
mass spectrometry procedure, a total of 11 sterols were quantified. Phospholipid samples from different pitching rates were
discriminated into three groups using principal component analysis (1, 5 g/L, and the others). The main changes in the lipid
profile of yeast cells with higher pitching rates were as follows: (a) the relative contents of phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylserine
were higher while phosphatidylinositol was lower compared with lower pitching rates, (b) the saturated and the relatively
shorter fatty acyl chains of phospholipids decreased, and (c) the content of ergosterol was higher. These findings suggested
a regulation of the property of the membrane at the situation of high cell density and a possible approach of self-protection
of the yeast cells against the high density stresses. 相似文献

A stable strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae secreting glucoamylase (EC 3.2.1.3) with high debranching activity was constructed using recombinant DNA technology. An expression cassette without bacterial sequences, containing Hormoconis resinae glucoamylase P cDNA and the dominant selection marker MEL1 was integrated into the yeast chromosome using ARS1 homology. The glucoamylase expression level of the integrant yeast strain was increased by chemical mutagenesis. The yeast strains secreting glucoamylase were able to grow on soluble starch (5%, w/v) and ferment it to ethanol.Correspondence to: A. Vainio 相似文献
