We cloned the glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH) gene (CvGPD1 ) from salttolerant yeast Candida versatilis. When CvGPD1 was expressed in glycerol synthesisdeficient Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells, the salt tolerance of the recombinant strain was enhanced, and NADP + -dependent GPDH (EC 1.1.1.94), Cvgpd1p synthesis and recovery of glycerol synthesis were confirmed. The transcription of CvGPD1 in C. versatilis cells was stimulated by high concentrations of NaCl. The relationship between expression of CvGPD1 and growth of C. versatilis cells in the mash of Japanese seasonings (miso-and shoyu-moromi ) is also discussed. The Accession No. for the sequenced DNA fragment is AB296385.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
