The authors look back at their life together in yeast research.

The role of Ecl1 family genes in longevity and in sexual development in Schizosaccharomyces pombe.

The focus in this review is engineering of transporters involved in sugar input and product output from yeast cell factories for improving bioproduction along with biomass utilization and metabolic pathways.

Systems biotechnology enables to understand and improve recombinant protein production in the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris.

Design, engineering and application of biosensors based on transcription factors in yeast.

This minireview focuses on recent advances in the production of fatty acids and fatty acid derivatives in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

This study found that antiviral ribavirin affected small non-coding RNAs in yeast, which may be significant when considering side effects in humans who are treated for viral infections by ribavirin.

In this study the authors confirmed, characterized and quantified urease activity of the novel systemic fungal pathogen, Emergomyces africanus.

Establishing a yeast strain for producing an important intermediate of shikonins, which are natural red naphthoquinone pigments and possess extensive pharmaceutical properties.

Using our diS-C₃(3) diagnostic assay, we show that the ability of common substrates (azoles) of ScPdr5p and KlPdr5p to competitively inhibit the Pdr5p-mediated efflux of the probe differs in the two species as a consequence of tighter arrangement of the KlPdr5p binding pocket compared to that of ScPdr5p.

Whole genome sequencing of Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain CEN.PK113–7D using nanopore technology sequencing yielded a near complete reference genome with 770 Kbp of undisclosed novel genetic information.

Using Chinese liquor fermentation as model system for spontaneous food fermentation, a correlation was found between the presence of newly-identified urea-producing yeasts and the concentration of urea in the final product.
