Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a model in ecotoxicological studies: a post-genomics perspective
No full textThe budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae represents a well-consolidated and widely used eukaryotic model, with a number of features that make it an ideal organism to carry out functional toxicological studies. Several advantages are permitted by the use of yeast cells, as the possibility to identify molecular biomarkers, unknown mechanisms of action and novel potential targets. Thanks to the evolutionary conservation, yeast can provide also useful clues allowing the prioritization of more complex analyses and toxicity predictions in higher eukaryotes. The last two decades were incredibly fruitful for yeast "omics", but referring to the analysis of the effects of pesticides on yeast much still remains to be done. Furthermore, a deeper knowledge of the effects of environmental pollutants on biotechnological processes associated with the use of yeasts is to be hoped. © 2015 Elsevier B.V
Omics Perspectives in Food Science
No full textThe post-genomic era revolutionized the way we think of food: not only nourishment but also a pivotal player in maintaining or preserving health. This review provides an overview on the current applications of omics technologies in food science, with a special focus on issues related to food safety, development of functional foods and nutraceuticals, personalized nutrition approaches and study of the interplay among gut microbiota, diet and host. Future challenges to face for wider systems biology studies are discussed as well
