    Abstract During the fermentation process, yeast cells face different stresses, and their survival and fermentation efficiency depend on their adaptation to these challenging conditions. Yeast cells must tolerate not only a single stress but also multiple simultaneous and sequential stresses. However, the adaptation and cellular response when cells are sequentially stressed are not completely understood. To explore this, we exposed a multi-stress-tolerant strain (BT0510) to different consecutive stresses to globally explore a common response, focusing on the genes induced in both stresses. Gene Ontology, pathway analyses, and common transcription factor motifs identified many processes linked to this common response. A metabolic shift to the pentose phosphate pathway, peroxisome activity, and the oxidative stress response were some of the processes found. The SYM1, STF2, and HSP genes and the transcription factors Adr1 and Usv1 may play a role in this response. This study presents a global view of the transcriptome of a multi-resistance yeast and provides new insights into the response to sequential stresses. The identified response genes can indicate future directions for the genetic engineering of yeast strains, which could improve many fermentation processes, such as those used for bioethanol production and beverages.

    Abstract Distillation of fermented sugarcane juice produces both rum and cachaça, significant sources of revenue in Brazil and elsewhere. In this study, we provide a genomic analysis of a Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain isolated from a cachaça distillery in Brazil. We determined the complete genome sequence of a strain with high flocculation capacity, high tolerance to ethanol, osmotic and heat shock stress and high fermentation rates and compared the sequence with that of the reference S288c genome as well as those of two other cachaça strains. Single-nucleotide polymorphism analysis identified alterations in genes involved in nitrogen and organic compound metabolism, integrity of organelles and ion homeostasis. The strain exhibited fragmentation of several flocculation genes relative to the reference genome, as well as loss of a stop codon in the FLO8 gene, which encodes a transcription factor required for FLO gene expression. The strain contained no genes not present in the reference genome strain but did lack several genes, including asparaginase genes, maltose utilization loci, and several genes from the tandem array of the DUP240 family. The three cachaça strains lacked different sets of genes, but the asparaginase genes and several of the DUP240 genes were common deficiencies. This study provides new insights regarding the selective pressure of sugarcane fermentation on the genome of yeast strains and offers additional genetic resources for modern synthetic biology and genome editing tools.
