Application

Application Comment Organism
food industry in mutant strain T25 with L-leucine accumulation, a hetero allelic mutation in the LEU4 gene encoding the Gly516Ser variant alpha-isopropylmalate synthase is found. alpha-Isopropylmalate synthase activity of the Gly516Ser variant is less sensitive to feedback inhibition by L-leucine, leading to intracellular L-leucine accumulation. In a laboratory-scale test, awamori (a distilled alcoholic beverage made from steamed rice,) brewed with strain T25 shows higher concentrations of isoamyl alcohol and isoamyl acetate than that brewed with strain HC02-5-2. Such a combinatorial approach to yeast isolation, with whole genome analysis and metabolism-focused breeding, has the potentials to vary the quality of alcoholic beverages Saccharomyces cerevisiae
