Revelation of new properties of pro-apoptotic human proteins, Bax and α-synuclein, using baker's yeast
… also induce cell death when expressed in baker’s yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In this thesis, this particular yeast has been used as a model system to study (a) if pro-apoptotic Bax is able to activate an inactive cytochrome P450 (CYP) expressed in the absence of a P450 reductase …

Utilization of a Microbubble Dispersion to Increase Oxygen Transfer in Pilot-Scale Baker's Yeast Fermentation Unit
… production of <i>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</i> (baker's yeast), oxygen transfer, which is one of the major limiting factors, is improved by using high agitation rates. However, high agitation rates subject the microorganisms to high shear stress and caused high power consumption. A microbubble …

Scale-Up the Use of a Microbubble Dispersion to Increase Oxygen Transfer in Aerobic Fermentation of Baker's Yeast
… to supply oxygen for an aerobic fermentation of Baker's yeast. The 1-liter microbubble dispersion generator supplied bubbles for 20-liter and 50-liter working volume fermentations in a 72-liter pilot scale fermenter. The microbubbles were stabilized by the surfactants naturally present in the …

Characterization of FMP35: A novel gene and its role in mitochondrial DNA stability
… that life can thrive. Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker's yeast) has historically been a model organism for mitochondrial function studies. These yeast are categorized as facultative anarobes; meaning that they are able to respire or ferment depending on media available. Functional mitochondria …

Studies on growth and filtration of the antagonistic biocontrol yeast Cryptococcus albidus
… the dewatering of the antagonistic biocontrol yeast Crytococcus albidus. Throught literature a hypothesis was developed that the extracellular polysaccharide produced by C. albidus is the major cause of hindrance to the filtration process. Microscopic analysis of C. albidus cultures illustrated …

Identifying Evolutionarily Conserved Protein Interaction Networks
… interaction data and gene sequences for baker's yeast and fruit fly, our algorithm finds many conserved networks with a high degree of functional enrichment. Using our method, we find many conserved protein interaction networks involved in functions such as DNA replication, protein …

The Betweenness Centrality Of Biological Networks
… organisms including Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker's yeast), Caenorhabditis elegans (worm) and Drosophila melanogaster (fruit fly). In this thesis, we examine the vertex and edge betweenness centrality measures of these graphs. These measures capture how "central" a vertex or an edge is in the …

Bioenergetics and metabolism of eukaryotic cell proliferation
… organisms ranging from human cancer cells to the baker's yeast Saccharomyces cerevesiae. We next determined that a major metabolic pathway of avid electron acceptor consumption in the context of biomass accumulation is the synthesis of lipids. Insights from this work has led to the realization …

Identification and evaluation of techniques for quality control of low-cost xylem filters
… to be most suitable for testing the filter were Baker's yeast, jeweler's rouge, turmeric, and buttermilk given their affordability, particle/microbe size, and availability. Further exploration is required to determine the optimal particle to use in water and air testing and the equipment …

Computational comparative genomics : genes, regulation, evolution
… methods to the comparative analysis of four yeast genomes, including the best-studied eukaryote, Saccharomyces cerevisiae or baker's yeast. Our results show that nearly a tenth of currently annotated yeast genes are not real, and have refined the structure of hundreds of genes. Additionally, …

Physiological and Biochemical Response of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to Desiccation and Rehydration
Baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) undergoes major biochemical and structural rearrangements in order to survive cycles of desiccation and rehydration, yet a firm understanding of the response is lacking. The purpose of this study was to examine the response of S. cerevisiae to desiccation …

Identification and characterization of host genes involved in regulating replication of brome mosaic virus
… and its replication can be recapitulated in the baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) under laboratory conditions to use yeast as an experimental model system. BMV generally does not infect dicotyledonous plants including the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. One important shared feature of …

Elucidating the effects of dietary change on replicative ageing in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Saccharomyces cerevisiae, baker's yeast, is an established model organism of ageing research. There are many different pathologies associated with the ageing of yeast, ranging from phenotypic to global transcriptome changes. We have followed changes of several ageing markers and alteration of the …
