The role of smORF encoded polypeptides in lager beer fermentation KU Leuven
Lager beer is the single most produced beer type world-wide and relies on the usage of bottom fermenting brewing yeast (Saccharomyces pastorianus). This translates into a major incentive for a detailed understanding of the fermentation process in order to achieve minute control over the relevant biological aspects during beer production. Recently, a new class of genes called small open reading frames (smORFs) have come into the focus of ...
