The chemo-enzymatic treatment performed better, yielding 65.3 g l-1 of fermentable sugars. A total of 62 yeast strains were screened for single-cell oil accumulation, identifying Rhodotorula mucilaginosa M1K4 as the most advantageous oleaginous yeast. M1K4 lipid production was optimized in liquid culture, and its fatty acid profile was analyzed, showing a high content of industrially valuable fatty acids, particularly palmitic (28%) and oleic (51%). Batch-culture of M1K4 in a 3-l reactor demonstrated the strain's ability to utilize wastepaper hydrolysate as a carbon source, with dry cell weight, total lipid and protein production of 17.7 g l-1, 4.5 g l-1, and 2.1 g l-1, respectively.

This study represents the first experimental test of the hypothesis that mixed yeast communities-comprising multiple, region-specific, isolates, and species-contribute to regional wine attributes. Yeast isolates were sourced from uninoculated Pinot Noir fermentations from 17 vineyards across Martinborough, Marlborough, and Central Otago in New Zealand. New methodologies for preparing representative, mixed species inoculum from these significantly differentiated regional yeast communities in a controlled, replicable manner were developed and used to inoculate Pinot Noir ferments. A total of 28 yeast-derived aroma compounds were measured in the resulting wines via headspace solid-phase microextraction coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.

Growth in different environments is associated with different energy demands for growth of yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, although the cross-condition differences remain poorly characterized. Furthermore, a direct comparison of the energy costs for the biosynthesis of the new biomass across conditions is not feasible experimentally; computational models, on the contrary, allow comparing the optimal metabolic strategies and quantify the respective costs of energy and nutrients. Thus in this study, we used a resource allocation model of S. cerevisiae to compare the optimal metabolic strategies between different conditions. We found that S. cerevisiae with respiratory-impaired mitochondria required additional energetic investments for growth, while growth on amino acid-rich media was not affected. Amino acid supplementation in anaerobic conditions also was predicted to rescue the growth reduction in mitochondrial respiratory shuttle-deficient mutants of S. cerevisiae. Collectively, these results point to elevated costs of resolving the redox imbalance caused by de novo biosynthesis of amino acids in mitochondria.
