TL;DR: A membrane polypeptide involved in K+ transport in a higher plant was cloned by complementation of a yeast mutant defective in K+, with a complementary DNA library from Arabidopsis thaliana that conferred ability to grow on media with K+ concentration in the micromolar range and to absorb K+ (or 86Rb+) at rates similar to those in wild-type yeast.

TL;DR: A comparison of the enzyme activities on various glycosidic substrates indicated that HGT-BG is a broad-specificity type of fungal β-glucosidase, which is of great potential interest in wine and fruit juice processing because it releases aromatic compounds from flavorless glucosidic precursors.

TL;DR: The chemical composition of polyphenolic compounds remaining in solution or adsorbed on yeast lees after various contact times during the simulation of wine aging indicated that wine polyphenols adsorption on yeastLees follows biphasic kinetics.

TL;DR: The knockout of the OPT1 gene, which encodes the major glutathione transporter, reduces 3MH accumulation by a 2-fold factor in grape must as compared to the wild type strain, and it is deduced that major 3MH precursor(s) are transported into yeast via Opt1p, which is in favor of G-3MH being a 3 MH precursor.

TL;DR: β-glucosidase was the most abundant glycosidase and showed a poor stability at wine pH and the wines obtained from the different yeast strains contained similar levels of terpenols, and no significant differences were found in sensory analysis.
