Students, but it was more about tossing unknown strains into the freezer, while projects were focused on scerevisiae.

This work was a collaborative effort with Slovenian colleagues, grads and undergrads sampling yeasts and occasionally wine. @3xueying.bsky.social

We sequenced ITS2 to ID the species of 4,101 strains and found many vineyard species are also present in nearby forest habitats. However, of all the species present in both habitats only S. cerevisiae showed elevated copper and sulfite resistance in vineyard strains.

Our results thus show that two thermally divergent species exhibit massively concordant cellular and structural changes in protein stability, and imply that protein thermostability impose a significant constraint on the time scales over which thermotolerance can evolve.
