Description
The protrotophic laboratory strain CEN.PK113-7D (MAT a) and three knock-out strains snf1, snf4 and snf1snf4 were grown in laboratory fermentors with a working volume of 1 litre at dilution rate (D) of 0.10 per hour (in triplicate for each strain). At steady state, samples from each of the 12 continuous cultures were taken and cooled below 2 degree C within ten seconds by mixing 40% sample and 60% crushed ice.
