There was now no doubt that yeast were indispensable for alcoholic fermentation. But what role did they play in the process? When more powerful microscopes were developed, the nature of yeast came ...

As Hartwell (who is still working with yeast) and his colleagues from the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, Washington, have shown, the nature of the cell cycle checkpoint ...

After more than a decade of work, researchers have reached a major milestone in their efforts to re-engineer life in the lab, putting together the final chromosome in a synthetic yeast (Saccharomyces ...

This achievement represents the completion of the global Sc2.0 project to create the world's first synthetic eukaryotic genome from Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker's yeast) and a new-to-nature ...

a species of yeast widely used as a model organism in cellular research. In their latest paper, published in Nature Communications, the scientists sought to shed light on how macronucleophagy ...

Scientists have completed construction of the final chromosome in the worlds' first synthetic yeast genome following more than a decade of work, opening new possibilities for creating resilient, ...

Macquarie University researchers and an international team have completed the first synthetic yeast genome, a breakthrough in synthetic biology. Published in Nature Communications, this achievement ...

The current yield from yeast is 0.0012 percent w/w, that is lower than the 0.0032 percent w/w yield from the tree. However, a soapbark tree needs 30 to 50 years to produce QS-21, whereas the yeast ...
