Title:
MODULATING UREA DEGRADATION IN WINE YEAST
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2003040379
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention provides yeast strains transformed to reduce nitrogen catabolite repression of a gene encoding a urea degrading enzymatic activity expressed by the yeast strain under fermenting conditions. Strains ofSaccharomyces cerevisiae are for example provided having enhanced DUR1,2 urea carboxylase-allophanate hydrolase activity under wine fermenting conditions.
