(author)Laboratory evolution of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae in bioreactor batch cultures yielded variants that grow as multicellular, fast-sedimenting clusters. Knowledge of the molecular basis of this phenomenon may contribute to the understanding of natural evolution of multicellularity and to manipulating cell sedimentation in laboratory and...journal article 2013

Oud, B. (author), Flores, C.L. (author), Gancedo, C. (author), Zhang, X. (author), Trueheart, J. (author), Daran, J.M. (author), Pronk, J.T. (author), Van Maris, A.J.A. (author)Background Pyruvate-decarboxylase negative (Pdc-) strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae combine the robustness and high glycolytic capacity of this yeast with the absence of alcoholic fermentation. This makes Pdc-S. cerevisiae an interesting platform for efficient conversion of glucose towards pyruvate-derived products without formation of ethanol...journal article 2012
