The paper investigates microbial contaminants in sugarcane bioethanol production, finding dynamic bacterial communities affect ethanol yield and yeast viability.

The paper compares methods for simultaneously quantifying yeast and bacterial cells in mixed suspensions, finding that flow cytometry, Coulter counter, and Spread-plate methods are statistically similar for yeast, while microscopy and Drop-plate are similar for bacteria.

The paper compares proteomes of three Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains grown on sucrose and glucose, finding Mnp1 is consistently higher on sucrose and opposite biological function patterns between strains.

The paper compares lipid accumulation capacity and physiological parameters of six Yarrowia lipolytica and two Rhodosporidium toruloides strains on glycerol, finding R. toruloides CCT 7815 has the highest lipid production.
