Abstract
ABSTRACTIt has been demonstrated that pasteurized effect on microorganisms of petit-high pressure carbon dioxide (p-HPCD) with long time treatment is similar to the effect of HPCD with short time treatment. The ‘petit-high pressure’ refers to a pressure of 1.5–13 atm (standard atmosphere). After 0.5 MPa of CO2 at 25°C for 2 h treatment, specific growth rate of yeast cells in the logarithm phase was decreased by 50% approximately. Under this condition, our study analyzed transcriptional responses of Saccharomyces cerevisiae through the functional genomic approach. Transcription of 837 open reading frames (ORFs) was altered relative to cells without treatment and 476 ORFs were induced after p-HPCD treatment. These selected genes were then categorized by function of gene product using the Munich Information Centre for Protein Sequences database. Genes involved in ‘metabolism of the urea cycle’ were found to be significantly induced. This enhanced metabolic process could help to remove redundant in cellular interior, thereby decrease the production of . Liberation of H+ ion could be decreased along with the inhibition of dissociation.
