Recently, a phenotypic approach—screens that assess the effects of compounds on cells,
tissues, or whole organisms—has been reconsidered and reintroduced as a complementary …

Covering: 2000 to mid-2021 The phosphate ester is a versatile, widespread functional group
involved in a plethora of biological activities. Its presence in secondary metabolites …

A rise in resistance to current antifungals necessitates strategies to identify alternative
sources of effective fungicides. We report the discovery of poacic acid, a potent antifungal …

Vanillin, generated by acid hydrolysis of lignocellulose, acts as a potent inhibitor of the
growth of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Here, we investigated the cellular processes …

Mannoproteins are non-filamentous glycoproteins localized to the outermost layer of the
yeast cell wall. The physiological roles of these structural components have not been …

Modification of the genetic background and, in some cases, the introduction of targeted
mutations can play a critical role in producing trait characteristics during the breeding of …

This review is focused on using computer image analysis as a means of objective and
quantitative characterizing optical images of the macroscopic (eg microbial colonies) and …

Morphological profiling is an omics-based approach for predicting intracellular targets of
chemical compounds in which the dose-dependent morphological changes induced by the …

The cell wall of budding yeast is a rigid structure composed of multiple components. To
thoroughly understand its involvement in morphogenesis, we used the image analysis …

Sake yeast was developed exclusively in Japan. Its diversification during breeding remains
largely uncharacterized. To evaluate the breeding processes of the sake lineage, we …
