Abstract

Saccharomyces pastorianus is an interspecies hybrid between S. cerevisiae and S. eubayanus. The identification of the parental species of S. pastorianus enabled the de novo reconstruction of hybrids that could potentially combine a wide array of phenotypic traits. Lager yeasts are characterized by their inability to decarboxylate ferulic acid present in wort, a phenotype also known as Pof - (phenolic off-flavor). However, all known S. eubayanus strains characterized so far produce clove-like aroma specific of 4-vinyl guaiacol, a decarboxylated form of ferulic acid. This study explored a non-GMO approach to construct Pof - S. eubayanus variants derived from the parental strain S. eubayanus CBS 12357. To rapidly screen a population of UV-mutagenized cells two complementary assays were developed. The first assay was based on the difference of light absorption spectra of ferulic acid and 4-vinyl guaiacol, while the second was based on the difference of sensitivity of Pof - and Pof+ strains to cinnamic acid. The S. eubayanus variant HTSE042 was selected and was confirmed not to produce 4-vinyl guaiacol. Whole genome sequencing revealed that this variant lost the subtelomeric region of the CHRXIII right arm that carried the two clustered genes SePAD1- SeFDC1 whose deletion in a naïve S. eubayanus strain (CBS 12357/FM1318) resulted in an identical phenotype. Subsequently, the Pof - variant was crossed with a Pof-S. cerevisiae partner. The resulting hybrid was not able to convert ferulic acid demonstrating the undisputable value of the mutagenized variant HTSE042 to eventually construct S. cerevisiae × S. eubayanus hybrids with phenotypic characteristics of S. pastorianus.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 9. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 20 July 2022.
All research outputs
#4,104,230
of 24,495,755 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Microbiology
#3,862
of 27,789 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#74,864
of 334,909 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Microbiology
#161
of 739 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,495,755 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 83rd percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 27,789 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.5. This one has done well, scoring higher than 86% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 334,909 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 77% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 739 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 78% of its contemporaries.
