Introduction
- Microorganisms are susceptible to temperature changes due to their inability to move, thus they must have physiological means to adapt to these changing environments.
- The temperature situation tested in this study was the effect of cold temperatures, termed cold shock.
- Recent studies have also looked at cold shock in yeast but, used a method of growing them in batch cultures.
- In this study, yeast were grown in chemostats to keep the conditions more constant.
- The yeast's adaptation to cold shock is determined by looking at changes in the transcriptome.
Materials and Methods
- The yeast are grown in four different conditions:
- 12C with glucose as a limiting nutrient
- 30C with glucose as a limiting nutrient
- 12C with ammonium as a limiting nutrient
- 30C with ammonium as a limiting nutrient
- The chemostat had a 1.0 liter culture of defined synthetic media with either glucose or ammonia as a limiting nutrient.
- The yeast strain used was CEN.PK113-7D (MATa) and was in a haploid state.
- The growth rate of the yeast was constant at 0.03 h-1, which is 75% max growth rate at 12C and 10% max growth rate at 30C.
