  • Development of PCR-based markers for identifying grape rootstocks

    Creator:
    Xu, Hong, 1968-
    Abstract:
    Sequence-specific PCR markers were derived from one new and eight previously identified random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers for the purpose of identifying grape (Vitis) rootstocks. The markers were developed because the RAPD assay was found to be inconsistent and the original RAPD markers unreliable. Southern hybridization analysis of the...

  • Study of sulfite mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae

    Creator:
    Wightman, JoLynne Dee
    Abstract:
    Sulfite mutants representing five complementation groups, previously derived from an ethyl methanesulfonate-treated haploid strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae were studied. Although the wildtype S. cerevisiae strain used (isogenic to X2180-1 A) had a basal tolerance for sulfite (7 μM free H₂SO₃), the sensitive and resistant mutants were found to tolerate less...

  • A study of antimutagenicity in yogurt

    Creator:
    Sudarshan, Nadathur R.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to identify antimutagens in yogurt active against the experimental colon carcinogen, N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG). Our initial experiments showed that acetone extracts of yogurt, or milk fermented by various lactic acid bacteria were antimutagenic against MNNG and 3,2'-dimethyl-4-aminobiphenyl (DMAB) in the Ames test (Salmonella typhimurium TA...

  • Applied and basic aspects of sulfite metabolism in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

    Creator:
    Park, Hoon
    Abstract:
    In an effort to understand the basis for sulfite detoxification in S. cerevisiae, the functions of two genes were analyzed. SSU1, which encodes a plasma membrane protein, was found to be required for efficient sulfite efflux. FZFl-4, a dominant allele of a transcriptional activator of SSUl, was also found to...

  • 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...

  • Yeast protein release during fermentation and aging in a model wine

    Creator:
    Rowe, Jeffrey D.
    Abstract:
    Yeast mannoproteins released during the process of aging wine on the yeast lees have been reported to make important contributions to wine quality. However, few mannoproteins have been identified in wine and their lifespan during aging is unknown. As a first step towards better understanding the contributions of yeast mannoproteins...

  • 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...
