GENE ENCODING PROTEIN RESPONSIBLE FOR STORAGE RESISTANCE OF YEAST AND USE THEREOF

摘要

The present invention relates to a gene encoding a protein having an activity of imparting drying-resistant property and/or low-temperature storage-resistant property to yeast and use thereof, in particular, a yeast for practical use with superior resistance property to dryness and/or low-temperature storage, alcoholic beverages produced with said yeast, and a method for producing said beverages. More particularly, the present invention relates to a yeast, whose resistance property to dryness and/or resistance property to low-temperature storage is enhanced by amplifying expression level of a gene encoding a protein having an activity of imparting drying-resistant property and/or low-temperature storage-resistant property to yeast in brewer's yeast, especially a gene specific to a lager brewing yeast and to a method for producing alcoholic beverages with said yeast, etc.
