Heinrich Volschenk,M. Viljoen,Jandre Grobler,B. Petzold,Florian Bauer,Ronald E. Subden,Richard A. Young,A. Lonvaud,M. Denayrolles,H. J. J. Van Vuuren +9 more
TL;DR: This work has introduced efficient pathways for malate degradation in S. cerevisiae by cloning and expressing the Schizosaccharomyces pombe malate permease gene with either the S. pom be malic enzyme or Lactococcus lactis malolactic gene in this yeast.
Journal Article
Malolactic Fermentation in Grape Musts by a Genetically Engineered Strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Heinrich Volschenk,M. Viljoen,Jandre Grobler,Florian Bauer,Aline Lonvaud-Funel,Muriel Denayrolles,Ronald E. Subden,H. J. J. Van Vuuren +7 more
TL;DR: The recombinant strain of S. cerevisiae transported malate and actively metabolized malate to lactate within three days in Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz grape musts at 20°C and the malolactic fermentation in Chardonnay grape must was completed within seven days at 15°C.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular analysis of the malic enzyme gene (mae2) of Schizosaccharomyces pombe
TL;DR: Sequence analysis of a 4·6‐kb HindIII fragment containing the malic enzyme gene (mae2) of Schizosaccharomyces pombe revealed the presence of an open reading frame, coding for a 565 amino acid polypeptide.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mutational analysis of malate pathways in Schizosaccharomyces pombe
TL;DR: To determine the metabolic pathway for malate metabolism in Sch.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transcriptional regulation of the Schizosaccharomyces pombe malic enzyme gene, mae2.
TL;DR: Two positive cis-acting elements in the mae2 promoter, UAS1 and UAS2, show homology with the DNA recognition sites of the cAMP-dependent transcription factors ADR1, AP-2, and ATF (activating transcription factor)/CREB (cAMP response element binding).
