Researchers have discovered the structure of the PPC descarboxilase (PPCDC) enzyme present in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a very important organism in biotechnology and an excellent model for ...

Yeast is a vegan-friendly food. Neither animal nor plant, yeast is a microscopic member of the fungus family, and its most common culinary strain is Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Although yeast is ...

Researchers have accomplished a technical breakthrough: they mapped all the fragile sites of a living organism, the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The method used by the researchers can be ...

Fission yeast and budding yeast are free-living haploid cells that are easily grown in the laboratory. They have different cell shapes and patterns of division. Left, fission yeast; right, budding ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — They live in bread dough. They die in your oven. At the grocery store, where you buy them, they sit in little glass jars, dormant on the shelf, waiting to be rehydrated so they can do ...

The budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has become an important model for evolutionary genomics owing to the development of high-throughput sequencing technologies. Comparative genomics analysis of ...

Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a species of yeast (single-celled fungus microorganism). The species has been instrumental in winemaking, baking, and brewing since ancient times. It is also known as baker ...

To assess Martian viability, scientists subjected yeast cells to Mach 5.6 shock waves and the corrosive perchlorate salts ...

The mode of expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae of the bacterial antibiotic resistance gene coding for β -lactamase (EC 3.5.2.6) is described. Yeast transformants, containing hybrid plasmid pMP78-1 ...

Radiation Research, Vol. 155, No. 6 (Jun., 2001), pp. 768-777 (10 pages) A "hypermutable" genome is a common characteristic of cancer cells, and it may contribute to the progressive accumulation of ...

Spo11-oligo mapping — Upper: the Spo11-oligo map agrees with ssDNA microarray analysis (Buhler et al., PLoS Biology, 2007) but is higher resolution. Lower: Agreement of the Spo11-oligo map with direct ...
