Growth Curve
In a BY4735 background, knocking out YAL061W seems to have a moderate effect on growth rate in log-phase. In this assay, the BY4735 strain's doubling time was 361 minutes, while the YAL061 knock-out strain's doubling time was 469 minutes. (These doubling times are the means of three experiments.)
Caffeine and Yeast Cells
This graph shows the growth curve with and without caffeine. It has the knockout strain and wild type yeast cells. The caffeine enhanced the growth in both wild type and knockout strain. The average doubling time between the three experiments for the knockout strand was 777.27 minutes. The caffeine also had a positive effect on the growth curve for the wild type with the average doubling time being 1245.02 minutes. The results were concluded from the wild type and knockout strand was with this amount of caffeine it leads to an increase in growth.

Ethanol Tolerance for YAL061
This graph shows the growth curve of ethanol tolerance in YAL061. The unstressed lines represent YAL061 that was not treated with ethanol. If you examine the graph you will notice that the strands that were treated with ethanol grew more than the ones that weren't. The average doubling time for the stressed yeast was (answer). The average doubling time for the unstressed yeast was (answer). The results show that YAL061 in ethanol leads to an increase in growth.
This bar graph shows us that compared to a BY4735 background, Knocking out yAL061w makes yeast more sensitive to UV light. The protocol can be found at
UV LIght Exposure
Effect of 3% DMSO on YAL061W
This graph represents the growth curve of DMSO tolerance in YAL061W. When calculated out the average doubling time for YAL061W with 3% DMSO equaled 906 minutes. The average doubling time for YAL061W without 3% DMSO equaled 683 minutes. This showed that 3% DMSO was in fact stressing out the knockout strain YAL061W. If we compare these average doubling times with those of WT:BY4735 which are 1529 minutes with 3% DMSO, and 514 minutes without DMSO it can be determined that by knocking out the YAL061W gene the doubling time increased slightly without DMSO. With adding DMSO the yeast grew faster without having the YAL061W gene.
Effect of Cycloheximide on YAL0061W
This was Cycloheximide with the first KO Gene. The Growth Models 1-3 are the KO not being distressed. Tests 1-4 were our results. Most of the yeast survived or even did better,except for test 1, which is weird. And we are unsure why.
Prednisone Effects on YAL061W
The graph above shows how dilutions P2 (30 µg/ml) and E2 (10% ethanol solution) impacted the growth rate of the knockout yeast strain YAL061W over 24 hours. The concentration did not double for P2 or E2 during test 3 for this experiment. Taking only the first two test results for each, the doubling rate averages to around 1182.5 minutes for ethanol only. As for the Prednisone with ethanol, the doubling rate averages to around 962.5 minutes. Overall the Prednisone decreased the rate of growth by close to 220 minutes. The ethanol in this case typically inhibits the growth of YAL061W more than the Prednisone with ethanol.
