UW-Stout/Heat Shock FA21

YMR221C (C)

  • When stressing this strain of yeast, there was not much of a growth difference. The growth rate slowed down once heat shocked.

Nitrogen Starvation

  • In the YMR221C gene, it seems that there is no significant difference between the two. If we are really taking a detailed look at it, it does seem that the plate without Ammonium is growing better. We conclude that the gene does not react with this strain.

UW-Stout/Bud Scars FA21

Cells grown with this gene (YMR221C) knocked out had an average of 1.36 bud scars per cell while the wild type (BY-RY4735) had 0.85 bud scars per cell. Of 119 YMR221C cells counted, 161 bud scars were seen. This indicated that the YMR221C gene slows reproduction rate and thus bud scarring in yeast cells.

YMR221C

  • When this strain was exposed to a citric acid buffer with a pH of 2.6, there did not appear to be a significant change in the growth rate of the strain

UW-Stout/Ethanol FA21

  • The Yeast Strain of YMR221C was affected by the 18.5 % Ethanol but there was still a defined growth curve

UW-Stout/G418 FA21

YMR221C Vs BYR4735 G418.png

The YMR221C yeast strain doubling time without any stress was 172 minutes which is very similar to the wild type with 182 minutes. When both strains were stressed by G418 they YMR221C doubling time was 184 minutes and the wild type was 178 minutes. (These times are averaged between three trials) -->

UW-Stout/Copper FA21

The average doubling time for YMR221C unstressed was 295 minutes, while stressed it was 294. From these observations we can conclude that while stressed with our .5 mM CuSO4 solution, the YMR221C strain grew approximately 1% faster. Although, the unstressed version had a higher overall size.
