Yipi! Another MS published this week by our group. We used 2 strategies to improve beer fermentation performance in S. eubayanus: ExpEvo + Hybridization (old farmers approach!). Congrats the team! @ibiochile.bsky.social @tomas-p.bsky.social @pablo-villa.bsky.social @official-smbe.bsky.social
Experimental Evolution and Hybridization Enhance the Fermentative Capacity of Wild Saccharomyces eubayanus Strains
Abstract. Lager beer is traditionally fermented using Saccharomyces pastorianus. However, the limited availability of lager yeast strains restricts the pot

Metabolic rearrangement enables adaptation of microbial growth rate to temperature shifts - Nature Microbiology
Growth rate dynamics after temperature shifts can be explained by metabolic rearrangement due to temperature-sensitive enzyme activities in bacteria and yeast.

NEW Publication!😄

Here, we show how #PhyKIT — a broadly applicable toolkit for #phylogenomics — can be used to construct phylogenomic data matrices (& quantify biases therein), detect anomalies in predicted orthology, calculate gene-gene coevolution, & more!
