Sentences with phrase «new yeast strain»

At MIT, scientists have engineered a new yeast strain that can survive in high levels of sugar and ethanol, producing 50 percent more ethanol than its natural cousins.

Verstrepen's team is continuing research to breed new yeast strains with characteristics useful to industry, and will soon be adding a brewery to the lab to conduct further experiments.

Not exact matches

The team gene - edited yeast to create a new strain not so different from the yeast used to brew beer — except, instead of producing alcohol, this one eats sugar and spits out collagen.

While in yeast, the genome was altered by using yeast genetic systems and then transplanted to produce a new strain of M. mycoides.

However, the overall picture of diversity means there is limited scope for creating new strains solely from wine yeasts.

The study shows that VTT's method is suitable for the generation of new lager yeast strains and the creation of new properties affecting the flavour of beer, as well as improving the beer production process.

New lager yeast strains can now be generated entirely without genetic modification technology.

Scientists at the Australian Wine Research Institute are developing new strains of yeast that contribute different flavor profiles during wine fermentation, including boosted floral aromas.

Now, laboratories specializing in yeast research are engaged in genomic mapping, hoping to create new hybrids or strains for different flavor effects — or sometimes just to help a particular brewery understand why a particular batch yielded a certain unintended flavor that the brewer would like to reproduce.

That concern is one reason the research team, led by Christina Smolke, a synthetic biologist at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California, stopped short of making a yeast strain with the complete morphine pathway; medicinal drug makers also primarily use thebaine to make new compounds.

Researchers hoping to mass produce a drug that combats resistant strains of malaria have genetically engineered a powerful new ally: a yeast that synthesizes a precursor to the antimalarial drug artemisinin.
