Cloning Sulfate Transporters in Growth Inhibited Yeast S. Cerevisiae
Description
The yeast project studies the growth of yeast Saccharomyces Cerevisiae (S. Cerevisiae) in high and low sulfate environments and analyzes the potential for genetically mutated plasmids to facilitate sulfate uptake in gene deficient yeast medias. The goal of the project was to transform the Sul1 and Sul2 transporters into the nutrient deficient yeast strain BY4743 and observe growth in conditions that would otherwise prohibit growth in order to create a model that can be used to study the effect of sulfate concentration on the transporters. The experimental results showed that expressing the sulfate transporters in the BY4743 strain provided the potential for the yeast to grow in nutrient-poor media. The growth potential model allows for further analysis on the sulfate transporters and will be used for research projects going forward.
