I spent the day running experiments with yeast (S. pombe) instead of sitting in front of a computer
I wondered how much yeast (S. cerevisiae) is in this cloudy IPA, looks like way more than I used in my lab today

Tangy, hoppy, and bitter, lots of precipitation, with 9.0% ABV, but I didn’t feel so much alcohol
We had their restaurant in our town, but they recently closed it. But I found their beer on the same street

A few S. pombe strains don’t flocculate
My favorite mutant doesn’t seem to be great for brewing beer
My research doesn’t have anything to do with brewing, though
Tomorrow is the deadline, the office staff told me that the NIH grant application system has been a bit unstable, my brain is also a bit unstable because of sleep deprivation, so I made some agar plates to clear my mind, it seemed to help
While running last-minute experiments to support my proposal, a student in a neighboring lab said he’d never seen me “doing science” before. I'm sure he meant “doing experiments,” but I do feel I'm “doing science” when I'm doing experiments, rather than working (on science) at a computer
Current methods to study #CellCycle progression in #yeast ignore variations in cell size. The FLCCR reporter system can quantify the duration of cell cycle phase in single cells, allowing independent assessment of cell size & cell cycle progression #plosbiology https://plos.io/4j48NxJ
Happy New 2025 Year, Funguys !!!
Wish you beautiful mushrooms, fluffy molds, and smooth yeasts on your Petri dish !
Consumer Labs found that some oats on the market contained a disturbing amount of gluten.
I would share the article but I think you have to log onto to read it.
Rolled Quaker Oats 100% Whole Grain Oats Old Fashioned has 672.3 ppm gluten in it. It goes off the chart below there is so much gluten in them.
The 365 brand oats from Whole Foods was at the top of their approved list. I don’t like to praise any Bezos business but at least those oats are gluten free for real.
(if you are using a screen reader and you are interested in the details of the charts below that didn’t end up in the alt text I can read the whole thing into a voice memo for you, just DM me)
This is another great IPA to bring to our friends’ house
But they live in Delaware, so, I will consume all by myself
From Milton, DE
I think this is a very good IPA to bring to our friends’ house tomorrow afternoon
From Conshohocken, PA
I will examine additional beers
Got some pink yeast
Can we make pink beer if we use this yeast strain ???
The ade6 gene mutation causing red pigments for this color change in the fission yeast S. pombe
Did some tetrad dissection of fission yeast (S. pombe) spores on Friday
Today, they are showing pretty colonies
Tetrad = four spores produced after yeast meiosis
Did some yeast (S. pombe) tetrad dissection
It’s pretty meditating on Friday night after Happy Hour
Hoping to get some nice results
Making some agar growth medium for facilitating fission yeast mating
They have two mating types: h- and h+
Malt extract in the medium
Fission yeast - Schizosaccharomyces pombe
I just made a successful pollination for our pumpkin (I think), now fission yeast’s turn
It's been a while since I last grew yeast (Schizosaccharomyces pombe) myself - exciting
A colleague asked, "Are you doing experiments?" and I replied, "Yes, just a little."
It’s also helping me boost my step count, definitely better than sitting in my office all day
Schizosaccharomyces pombe on the cover of JCS - beautiful as usual
My favorite yeast
#Clathrin-mediated #endocytosis (CME) is one of the main cellular trafficking processes, but how are CME sites initiated? @DavidGDrubin &co show that #yeast CALM/AP180 & FCHo1/2 adaptor proteins interact with Eps15 to promote CME initiation #PLOSBiology https://plos.io/4eCYlKA
