Pyruvate is the key substance controlling the formation of diacetyl, acetaldehyde, and acetate during alcoholic fermentation. Here we report the breeding of a low pyruvate-producing sake yeast by isolation of a mutant resistant to ethyl alpha-transcyanocinnamate, an inhibitor of mitochondrial pyruvate transport. Mitochondrial function was involved in resistance to this substance and in the production of pyruvate by the mutants.
丙酮酸是酒精发酵过程中控制双乙酰、乙醛和乙酸形成的关键物质。在此,我们报告了一种低丙酮酸产量的清酒酵母的培育方法,该方法是通过分离对线粒体丙酮酸转运抑制剂α-反式氰基肉桂酸乙酯具有抗性的突变体来实现的。线粒体功能与对该物质的抗性以及突变体丙酮酸的产生有关。
