Yeasts Can be Engineered as well!
The study conducted under the leadership of ITU Molecular Biology and Genetics Department faculty member Prof. Dr. Zeynep Petek Çakar and based on application of a novel engineering approach “Evolutionary Engineering” to obtain stress resistant yeasts was puplished in one of the most prestigious journals in microbiology field Frontiers in Microbiology under the title of “Physiological and Molecular Characterization of an Oxidative Stress-Resistant Saccharomyces cerevisiae Strain Obtained by Evolutionary Engineering”.
