Physiological impact and context dependency of transcriptional responses: A chemostat study in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

This thesis is a compilation of a four-year PhD project on bakers' yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). Since the entire S. cerevisiae genome sequence became available in 1996, DNA-microarray analysis has become a popular high-information-density tool for analyzing gene expression in this important industrial microorganism and model eukaryote. This thesis explores chemostat-based analysis of the transcriptome (the complete set of messenger RNA molecules) as a tool to understand interaction of S. cerevisiae with its (industrial) environment. Special attention is given to factors that are relevant for beer fermentation. While chemostat-based transcriptome analysis is shown to provide new and important insights into yeast physiology, additional information is required to predict the contribution of genes to cellular fitness.Applied Science
