Abstract excerpt
Biotin is an essential coenzyme that is bound to carboxylases and participates in fatty acid synthesis. The fact that sake yeast exhibit biotin prototrophy while almost all other Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains exhibit biotin auxotrophy, implies that biotin prototrophy is an important factor in sake brewing. In this study, we inserted a stop codon into the biotin biosynthetic BIO3 gene (cording for...
