Effects of pyruvate decarboxylase (pdc1, pdc5) gene knockout on the production of metabolites in two haploid Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains

Wen Zhang et al.

Summary: In this study, double knockout strains of pdc1 and pdc5 were obtained in haploid S. cerevisiae, leading to consistent effects on metabolites. The changes in ethanol, glycerol, acetic acid concentrations, and pyruvate decarboxylase activity resulted in increased 2,3-butanediol production. This research not only provides a basis for high-yield 2,3-butanediol production, but also establishes haploid S. cerevisiae as a new tool for genetic research and breeding programs.

Growth Inhibition by Amino Acids in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Stephanie J. Ruiz et al.

Summary: Amino acids are essential for metabolism but can be toxic at high levels intracellularly. Downregulation of amino acid transporters in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a mechanism to avoid toxicity. Overexpression of certain amino acid transporters can induce growth defects, and various amino acids are growth inhibitory to yeast cells when transported into the cell at high levels.

Identification of Core Regulatory Genes and Metabolic Pathways for the n-Propanol Synthesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Ya-Ping Wang et al.

Summary: This study identified key genes and pathways for the production of n-propanol by S. cerevisiae by deleting n-propanol metabolism-related genes. It revealed that glycine and threonine transformation and the formation of propanal from 2-ketobutyrate were core pathways for n-propanol synthesis, with YML082W playing an important role in directly producing 2-ketobutyric acid. The findings provide valuable insights for future optimization of yeast strains in Baijiu making.

Comparative transcriptome analysis reveals the key regulatory genes for higher alcohol formation by yeast at different a-amino nitrogen concentrations

Ya-Ping Wang et al.

Summary: The study investigated the impact of alpha-amino nitrogen concentration on higher alcohol productivity of yeast, identifying AGP1, GDH1, and THR6 genes as important regulators of higher alcohol metabolism in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This research provided valuable insights into the metabolic pathways of higher alcohols and guidance for breeding yeast strains with low-yield higher alcohols to address varying alpha-AN concentrations in fermentation systems in the brewing industry.

Hybrid promoter engineering strategies in Yarrowia lipolytica: isoamyl alcohol production as a test study

Yu Zhao et al.

Summary: This study systematically detected and characterized common promoter elements in Yarrowia lipolytica, and constructed an artificial hybrid promoter library covering a wide range of promoter strength. The hybrid promoter strength can be fine-tuned by promoter elements to optimize expression in Y. lipolytica. This promoter engineering strategy could be extended to other non-model fungi for strain improvement.

Aromatic Higher Alcohols in Wine: Implication on Aroma and Palate Attributes during Chardonnay Aging

Antonio G. Cordente et al.

Summary: The study investigated the impact of higher alcohols on the aroma and flavor of wine, showing that they not only increase the concentration of 2-phenylethanol but also modulate the formation of other higher alcohols, highlighting the connections between yeast nitrogen and sulfur metabolism during fermentation. Additionally, the analysis of these compounds during wine storage and sensory properties revealed the differences produced by biologically modulating higher alcohols and the dynamic changes in wine flavor over aging.
