  • Development of a method to measure protein in red wines : a survey of protein, mannan and tannin in Pinot noir wines

    Creator:
    Smith, Mark R.
    Abstract:
    A number of methods to isolate and quantify protein in Pinot noir wines were evaluated. The combination of precipitation by acetone containing 10% w/v trichloroacetic acid followed by quantification with the Bradford assay, reported in yeast invertase equivalents yielded the most accurate results when compared to micro-Kjeldahl analysis. The technique...

  • Nutritional and Genetic Aspects of Sulfite Excretion During Fermentation by Wine Strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae

    Creator:
    Alessandri, María P.
    Abstract:
    Reductive sulfate assimilation, the biological process by which sulfur-containing amino acids and key derivatives are synthesized from sulfate, is broadly shared among bacteria, fungi, and plants. It is the major, if not sole source of methionine and cysteine for Saccharomyces cerevisiae during wine fermentation. Two obligate intermediates formed in the...

  • Gadusol Production in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

    Creator:
    Holzwarth, Garrett
    Abstract:
    Gadusol is a UV-B-absorbent compound found in fish and other marine organisms where it is presumed to play a role as a sunscreen and antioxidant. In light of commercial potential as a replacement for problematic synthetic sunscreens, a process to produce recombinant gadusol in the yeast Saccharomcyces cerevisiae was investigated....

  • An Approach to Increasing Yields of a Sunscreen Compound in Recombinant Yeast

    Creator:
    Vu, Van Anh
    Abstract:
    The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, commonly used in winemaking, baking, and brewing, also serves as a host for the production of therapeutically valuable pharmaceuticals. Recently, the Bakalinsky laboratory constructed a recombinant yeast strain expressing two zebrafish (Danio rerio) genes in order to produce a UV-protective “sunscreen” compound called gadusol. An antioxidant...

  • Adding value to renewable biodiesel production from the oleaginous yeast Lipomyces starkeyi

    Creator:
    Brosy, Jack R.
    Abstract:
    Global warming and on-going depletion of fossil fuels have stimulated research to develop renewable sources of energy. Current renewable energy use comprises only 10% of the energy consumed in the US and is focused mostly on generating electricity. The majority of the energy consumed by the US transportation sector is...

  • In vivo detoxification of acetic acid in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

    Creator:
    Ding, Jun
    Abstract:
    The studies described in this thesis were motivated by ongoing efforts to develop lignocellulosic biomass as an efficient and practical source of renewable energy. Enormous problems complicate these efforts to reduce reliance on greenhouse gas-generating fossil fuels. Simply obtaining the fermentable sugars available in the cellulose and hemicellulose components of...

  • Bioethanol production from lignocellulosicbiomass: assessing genes linked to acetic acid stress in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

    Creator:
    Montgomery, Tyler P.
    Abstract:
    Lignocellulosic biomass represents a vast and renewable source of fermentable sugar for production of biofuels. However, native lignocellulose—comprised of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin—is refractory to degradation because the crystalline cellulose is not easily hydrolyzed by cellulases. Standard chemical treatments of lignocellulose to reduce the crystallinity of cellulose prior to enzymatic...
