Activities
Study of the mechanisms of resistance and tolerance of yeast to weak
acids and ethanol, mainly based on genome-wide approaches, and focused
on the eukaryotic model Saccharomyces
cerevisiae and on Zygosaccharomyces
bailii, considered to be the
most problematic food spoilage yeast. Integration of the obtained
knowledge, using genomic–scale metabolic models, to guide the
design of improved strains and process conditions in the context of the
food and bio-ethanol industry.
