Genes significantly differentially expressed in S. cerevisiae in response to cocultivation with Lb. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricusa

Type of regulation and geneb Description Fold change
In cocultures vs monoculturesc From Abbott et al.d
Upregulated genes
    CTR3e High-affinity copper transporter of the plasma membrane, acts as a trimer 4.6 −1.8
    STL1 Glycerol importer 4.3 111
    FIT1e Cell wall mannoprotein, involved in the retention of siderophore iron in the cell wall 2.9 8
    EEB1 Alcohol acyltransferase involved in ethyl ester biosynthesis 2.7 −5.2
    FMP23e Mitochondrial protein of unknown function, contains Rcs1p and Aft2p binding domains 2.7 19
    CIN5 Transcription factor of the YAP-1 family, mediates pleiotropic drug resistance and salt tolerance 2.5 12.1
    HMX1e Endoplasmic reticulum localized, heme-binding peroxidase involved in the degradation of heme, expression regulated by Aft1p 2.5 6

Downregulated genes
    SUL1 High-affinity sulfate permease −3 −12.4
    CAR2 l-Ornithine transaminase, catalyzes the second step of arginine degradation −2.2 −5.1
    ATO3 Plasma membrane protein, possible role in export of ammonia from the cell −2 −4.7
    ADH2 Glucose-repressible alcohol dehydrogenase II, catalyzes the conversion of ethanol to acetaldehyde, involved in the production of certain carboxylate esters, regulated by Adr1p −2.5 1.0
    PHM8 Lysophosphatidic acid phosphatase involved in lysophosphatidic acid hydrolysis in response to phosphate starvation −2.4 1.0
    XBP1 Transcriptional repressor that binds to promoter sequences of the cyclin genes CYS3 and SMF2 −2.5 −1.1
a

Differential expression was identified by use of a false discovery rate of <5% (see Materials and Methods).

b

Genes responding to lactic acid stress in a previous study by Abbott et al. (51) are indicated in bold.

c

The fold change represents the increase or decrease in expression in lactose-grown chemostat cocultures compared to that in galactose-grown chemostat monocultures.

d

The fold change represents the increase or decrease in expression in anaerobic glucose-limited chemostat cultures grown at pH 5.0 in the presence versus absence of 900 mM lactic acid, as described by Abbott et al. (51).

e

Genes encoding proteins involved in iron and copper homeostasis (51).
