Description
Laboratory strains of Saccharmoyces cerevisiae have been widely used as a model for studying eukaryotic cells and mapping the molecular mechanisms of many different human diseases. Industrial wine yeasts, on the other hand, have been selected over hundreds of years on the basis of their adaptation to stringent environmental conditions and the organoleptic properties they confer to wine. Here, we applied a two-factor design to study the response of a standard laboratory strain, CEN.PK.113-7D, and an industrial wine yeast-strain, EC1118, to growth temperature at 15C and 30C under 12 nitrogen-limited, anaerobic steady-state chemostat cultures. Physiological characterization revealed that growth temperature strongly impacted biomass yields in both strains. Moreover, we observed that the wine yeast is better adapted to mobilizing resources for biomass and that the laboratory yeast exhibited higher fermentation rates. To elucidate mechanistic differences controlling the growth temperature response and underlying adaptive mechanisms between strains, DNA microarrays and targeted metabolome analysis were used. We identified 1007 temperature dependent genes and 473 strain dependent genes. The transcriptional response was used to identify highly correlated subnetworks of significantly changing genes in metabolism. We show that temperature differences most strongly affect nitrogen metabolism and the heat shock response. Lack of STRE mediated gene induction, coupled with reduced trehalose levels, indicates a decreased general stress response at 15C relative to 30C. Between strains, differential responses are centred around sugar uptake, nitrogen metabolism and expression of genes related to organoleptic properties. Our study provides global insight into how growth temperature exerts a differential physiological and transcriptional response in laboratory and wine strains of S. cerevisiae.
