A new thermotolerant yeast strain was siolated, and its characteristics have been studied. The strain was identified and named Saccharomyces cerevisiae F38-1. This strain could grow not only at high temperature, but also in high concentrations of sugar and ethanol. S. cerevisiae F38-1 could grow in a medium containing 50% glucose. The isolate produced ethanol at 43$\circ$C, but didn't grow at 40$\circ$C in the presence of 8% ethanol. Fermentation studies showed that the isolate ferments 20% glucose to 9.8% (V/V) ethanol at 40$\circ$C in the presence of 0.2%, yeast extract.

The fermentation characteristics of Saccharomyces cerevisiae F38-1, a newly isolated thermotolerant yeast strain from a high temperature environment have been studied using a fermentation medium containing 20% glucose, 0.2% yeast extract, 0.2% polypeptone, 0.3% (NH$_{4}$)$_{2}$SO$_{4}$, 0.1% KH$_{2}$PO$_{4}$, and 0.2% MgSO$_{4}$ without shaking at 30$\circ$C to 43$\circ$C for 5 days. The fermentability was over 90% at 30$\circ$C, 88% at 37$\circ$C, 77% at 40$\circ$C and 30% at 43$\circ$C. A similar fermentation result was obtained at pH between 4 and 6 at 30$\circ$C and 40$\circ$C. Aeration stimulated the growth of the strain at the beginning of the fermentation, but it reduced alcohol production at the end of alcohol fermentation. Optimal glucose concentration was determined to be between 18 and 22% at 40$\circ$C as well as 30$\circ$C, but the growth was inhibited at the glucose concentration of over 30%. A fermentability of over 90% was observed at 40$\circ$C in 2 days when the medium was supplemented by 2% yeast extract. A higher inoculum size increased the initial fermentation rate, but not the fermentation. A fermentability of over 90% was achieved in 2 days at 40$\circ$C in a fermentor experiment using an optimized medium containing 20% glucose and 1% yeast extract.

The toxicity of chlorothalonil on the growth of yeasts was investigated using several yeast strains. An alcohol tolerant yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae F38-1, was the most chlorothalonil-tolerant. The glutathione content and the glutathione S-transferase activity were related to the chlorothalonil-tolerant phenotype. Several thiol compounds affect the dissipation of chlorothalonil. However, there was no significant difference on the effects of chlorothalonil dissipation among the thiol compounds tested. The growth of yeast cells was arrested by chlorothalonil. It took about 13 h to dissipate 1 mg/l of chlorothalonil, and the growth was restored as the chlorothalonil content decreased. The glutathione content and glutathione S-transferase are suggested to be among the most important factors of yeast resistance to chlorothalonil.

Mitochondria play a crucial role in eukaryotic cells; the mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) generates adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which serves as an energy source for numerous critical cellular activities. However, the ETC also generates deleterious reactive oxygen species (ROS) as a natural byproduct of oxidative phosphorylation. ROS are considered the major cause of aging because they damage proteins, lipids, and DNA by oxidation. We analyzed the chronological life span, growth phenotype, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), and intracellular ATP and mitochondrial superoxide levels of 33 single ETC component-deleted strains during the chronological aging process. Among the ETC mutant strains, 14 ($sdh1{\Delta}$, $sdh2{\Delta}$, $sdh4{\Delta}$, $cor1{\Delta}$, $cyt1{\Delta}$, $qcr7{\Delta}$, $qcr8{\Delta}$, $rip1{\Delta}$, $cox6{\Delta}$, $cox7{\Delta}$, $cox9{\Delta}$, $atp4{\Delta}$, $atp7{\Delta}$, and $atp17{\Delta}$) showed a significantly shorter life span. The deleted genes encode important elements of the ETC components succinate dehydrogenase (complex II) and cytochrome c oxidase (complex IV), and some of the deletions lead to structural instability of the membrane-$F_1F_0$-ATP synthase due to mutations in the stator stalk (complex V). These short-lived strains generated higher superoxide levels and produced lower ATP levels without alteration of MMP. In summary, ETC mutations decreased the life span of yeast due to impaired mitochondrial efficiency.

당유자 과피를 식품미생물인 효모를 이용하여 발효 후 80% 에탄올로 추출하여 발효 전과 후의 플라보노이드 함량 및 성분 변화와 항산화 활성의 차이를 비교 분석하였다. LC/MS를 통한 플라보노이드 분석 결과, 발효 후 추출물에서 neohesperidin과 naringin의 함량 변화는 큰 차이가 없었으나, hesperidin과 일부 플라보노이드 성분은 감소하였으며, 특히 3',4',5',5,7-pentamethoxyflavone은 발효 후에 그 함량이 크게 감소하였다. 이에 반하여 친수성 unknown 화합물들이 크게 증가하는 것을 LC/MS을 통하여 확인할 수 있었다. 이는 효모를 통한 발효과정 중에 플라보노이드 성분이 다른 형태로 전환되었으며, 이렇게 전환되어진 성분들을 함유한 FCGP는 CGP보다 DPPH, hydroxyl, alkyl 및 hydrogen peroxide 소거활성 등과 같은 항산화 활성을 크게 증가시켰다. 결론적으로 효모를 이용하여 당유자 과피를 발효시킴으로써 생리활성 성분의 일부를 전환시킴으로써 항산화 활성 등과 같은 기능성을 향상시킬 수 있어, 향후 당유자 과피의 발효에 의한 다양한 건강기능식품으로서의 개발이 가능한 것으로 사료된다.
