Saccharomyces cerevisiae preferentially uses glucose as a carbon source, but following its
depletion, it can utilize a wide variety of other carbons including nonfermentable compounds …

Background Carbon utilization and metabolism are fundamental to every living organism for
cellular growth. For intracellular human fungal pathogens such as Candida glabrata, an …

The promoter of the high-affinity glucose transporter Gth1 (P GTH1) is tightly repressed on
glucose and glycerol surplus, and strongly induced in glucose-limitation, thus enabling …

Glycerol is an interesting alternative carbon source in industrial bioprocesses due to its
higher degree of reduction per carbon atom compared to sugars. During the last few years …

Timely regulation of carbon metabolic pathways is essential for cellular processes and to
prevent futile cycling of intracellular metabolites. In Halobacterium salinarum, a hypersaline …

In budding yeast, fermentation is the most important pathway for energy production. Under
low-glucose conditions, ethanol is used for synthesis of this sugar requiring a shift to …

The RNAi machinery is generally involved in genome protection in filamentous fungi;
however, the physiological role of RNAi has been poorly studied in fungal models. Here, we …

Nutrient sensing and coordination of metabolic pathways are crucial functions for all living
cells, but details of the coordination under different environmental conditions remain elusive …

The fundamental questions of how cells control growth and respond to stresses have
captivated scientists for years. Despite the complexity of these cellular processes, we could …

Microbial co-cultures have been used in several biotechnological applications. Within these
co-cultures, the microorganisms tend to interact with each other and perform complex …
