Tomato QM-like protein protects Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells against oxidative stress by regulating intracellular proline levels
Article Abstract:
Exogenous proline can protect cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae from oxidative stress and intracellular proline levels were altered by overexpressing the proline dehydrogenase gene (PUT1) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The results indicate that tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) gene encoding a QM-like protein (tQM) is a component of various stress response pathways and might function in proline-mediated stress tolerance in plants.

Production of L-ascorbic acid by metabolically engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Zygosaccharomyces bailii
Article Abstract:
The production of vitamin C or L-ascorbic acid from metabolically engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae as well as from the nonconventional yeast Zygosaccharomyces bailii is presented. The results are highly promising and the objective of creating yeast cell factories for the easy conversion of a cheap carbon source into L-ascorbic acid appears closer than ever.
