(author)In microbial processes for production of proteins, biomass and nitrogen-containing commodity chemicals, ATP requirements for nitrogen assimilation affect product yields on the energy producing substrate. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a current host for heterologous protein production and potential platform for production of nitrogen-containing...journal article 2015

Guadalupe-Medina, V. (author), Wisselink, H.W. (author), Luttik, M.A.H. (author), De Hulster, E. (author), Daran, J.M. (author), Pronk, J.T. (author), Van Maris, A.J.A. (author)Background Redox-cofactor balancing constrains product yields in anaerobic fermentation processes. This challenge is exemplified by the formation of glycerol as major by-product in yeast-based bioethanol production, which is a direct consequence of the need to reoxidize excess NADH and causes a loss of conversion efficiency. Enabling the use of...journal article 2013

(author), Daran-Lapujade, P.A.S. (author)Extremely low specific growth rates (below 0.01 h?1) represent a largely unexplored area of microbial physiology. In this study, anaerobic, glucose-limited retentostats were used to analyse physiological and genome-wide transcriptional responses of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to cultivation at near-zero specific growth rates. While quiescence is...journal article 2011

Abbott, D.A. (author), Knijnenburg, T.A. (author), De Poorter, L.M. (author), Reinders, M.J. (author), Pronk, J.T. (author), Van Maris, A.J. (author)Transcriptional responses to four weak organic acids (benzoate, sorbate, acetate and propionate) were investigated in anaerobic, glucose-limited chemostat cultures of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. To enable quantitative comparison of the responses to the acids, their concentrations were chosen such that they caused a 50% decrease of the biomass...journal article 2007
