The CRISPR technology opened new perspectives for genetically reprogramming living organisms. In particular, CRISPR has greatly impacted the molecular genetics of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a microbial workhorse for biotechnological applications. Recently, we proposed a new CRISPR approach (EasyGuide) based on the efficient recombination of gRNAs occurring in vivo in S. cerevisia…
Yeasts are biotechnologically important microorganisms that can efficiently convert carbohydrate to alcohol. They have been historically used for bioethanol production utilizing sugarcane biomass in Brazil. A stronger resilience of yeast to alcohol content during industrial fermentation processes is highly desirable to enhance bioethanol yield. This mobility project will strengthen curren…
A critical factor in alcoholic fermentations is the inhibition of yeasts cells by the product ethanol. For this reason, high alcoholic tolerance is a major requirement for yeast strains used in industry. In a previous project, we conducted ethanol adaptive evolution experiments in which we propagated the yeast Schizosaccharomyces japonicus for about 2700 generations on increasing amounts …
Why did sex evolve if organisms could multiply simply by copying themselves? This question represents one of the most tenacious problems in evolutionary biology. Historically, the major focus of debate has been the benefits that sex might confer on an individual or a species. Essentially, sexual reproduction is a shuffle of parental genomes to segregate in the offspring a varied collectio…
Seven yeast populations (4 sexual and 3 clonal) will be propagated against a gradient of increasing ethanol concentration in the growth medium. The internship student will help with the routine of cultivation, which will include periodic fitness and competition assays. The student will be introduced to genomic techniques used for comparative genetic analysis of sexual and clonal yeast pop…
