Fundamental features of microbial cellulose utilization are examined at successively higher
levels of aggregation encompassing the structure and composition of cellulosic biomass …

In response to nitrogen starvation in the presence of a poor carbon source, diploid cells of
the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae undergo meiosis and package the haploid nuclei …

Fungal insect pathogens have evolved diverse mechanisms to evade host immune
recognition and defense responses. However, identification of fungal factors involved in host …

In fungi and many other organisms, a thick outer cell wall is responsible for determining the
shape of the cell and for maintaining its integrity. The budding yeast Saccharomyces …

Perturbations of the yeast cell wall trigger a repair mechanism that reconfigures its molecular
structure to preserve cell integrity. To investigate this mechanism, we compared the global …

Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutants that have a post-Golgi block in the exocytic pathway
accumulate 100-nm vesicles carrying secretory enzymes as well as plasma membrane and …

β-Glucosidase activity contributes to aroma formation during the winemaking process. This
study investigated whether β-glucosidase activity was expressed by wild Saccharomyces …

ABSTRACT The exo-β-1, 3-glucanase (EC 3.2. 1.58) activity of Pichia anomala strain K, an
antagonistic yeast of Botrytis cinerea on postharvest apples, was studied in a synthetic …

Enzymes play a definitive role in the ancient and complex process of winemaking. From a
scientific and technical point of view, wine can be seen as the product of enzymatic …

ABSTRACT ENG1 (YNR067c), a gene encoding a new endo-1, 3-β-glucanase, was cloned
by screening a genomic library with a DNA probe obtained by PCR with synthetic …
