Membrane lipid unsaturation index and membrane fluidity have been related to yeast ethanol
stress tolerance in published studies, however findings have been inconsistent. In this …

High sugar concentration is more preferred in industrial bioethanol production, as it can
increase the amount of ethanol produced by the end of fermentation. However, when high sugar …

Inositol is known to initiate positive effects on yeast fermentation performance, cell growth
and tolerance against environmental stresses, especially high ethanol concentration. The …

The present study investigates yeast membrane fluidity and ethanol tolerance, particularly in
relation to inositol supplementation. Three Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains were selected…

An extension project has been undertaken in a number of vineyard sites in Queensland over
the 2009/10 growing season. This project, led by Ursula Kennedy and Robert Learmonth …

Queensland wine industry development has relied upon adoption of viticultural practices
from established winegrowing regions. Such procedures are not necessarily best practice …

Yeast nitrogen base (YNB) is a chemically defined fermentation medium that does not
interfere with fluorescence spectroscopy measurements in the UV to blue range. It is a useful …

As part of the Queensland Wine Industry Action Plan developed by the Queensland Government
and the Queensland Wine Industry Association, many wine growers throughout the state…

In recent years the focus of much research has turned to the influence of light and heat loads
on wine grape quality. Findings over the past years have illustrated negative influences of …
