LIST is pleased to inform that the article with the evocative title: 'Stuck at work? Quantitative proteomics of environmental wine yeast strains reveals the natural mechanism of overcoming stuck fermentation' has done the front cover of the journal 'Proteomics'.
The article has been written by Dr Aleksandra Szopinska-Morawska, Sébastien Planchon and Jenny Renaut from the LIST. To these authors, Daniele Evers was also involved as first project leader and colleagues from the University of Mainz, Prof. Koenig and Eva Christ in the frame of an INTER project funded by the National Research Fund (FNR- NUTRIVIN INTER/DFG/10/02), and the German Science Foundation (DFG; Ko 785/17-1).
Bacchus meets proteomics. During fermentation, oenological yeast cells are subjected to a number of different stress conditions and must respond rapidly to the continuously changing environment of harsh ecological niche. In this study, more insights into the cell adaptation mechanisms has been gained by linking proteome monitoring with knowledge on physiological behaviour of different strains during fermentation under model winemaking conditions.
