Abstract WHI3 is a gene affecting size control and cell cycle in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The whi3 mutant has small cells, while extra doses of WHI3 produce large cells, and a large excess of WHI3 produces a lethal arrest in G1 phase. WHI3 seems to be a dose-dependent inhibitor of Start. Whi3 and its partially redundant homolog Whi4 have an RNA-binding domain, and mutagenesis experiments indicate that this RNA-binding domain is essential for Whi3 function. CLN3-1 whi3 cells are extremely small, nearly sterile, and largely nonresponsive to mating factor. Fertility is restored by deletion of CLN2, suggesting that whi3 cells may have abnormally high levels of CLN2 function.

Eight yeast strains (denoted as D1 to D8) were isolated from samples of natural fermented pineapple. Strain D8 showed highest alcoholic production at low pH and special aroma of pineapple has been chosen for further study. Taxonomic characterization of strain D8 using morphological, biochemical and molecular biological studies confirmed that strain D8  belong to Saccharomycetaceae family, Saccharomycetales order and Saccharomyces cerevisiae species. Therefore, we named this strain as Saccharomyces cerevisiae D8 for further study on Brandy production from pineapple. Citation: Hoang Thi Le Thuong, Nguyen Quang Hao, Tran Thi Thuy, 2017.
