Genomewide gene expression of Saccharomycopsis schoenii (CBS 7425) during predatory conditions

Yeast in the genus Saccharomycopsis share a feature; they have the ability to attack and kill other yeast and filamentous fungi. Descriptive cell culture based studies on the Saccharomycopsis clade have been performed by Lachance et al., but with recent advances in bioinformatics and next generation sequencing, significant additional insights into the life, predatory behaviour and the potential usefulness of Saccharomycopsis yeasts can be made. Based on the predatory behaviour of Saccharomycopsis schoenii, we analysed the genome wide gene expression of S.schoenii during culture on full vs limited vs minimal media, with or without Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a prey cell in co-culture.
