Comparison of fermentation essential genes with the SGD_FRYG database: phenotypic response to specific stress conditions. Ninety three fermentation essential genes (FEG) were identified in this study. Ten of the genes have not been previously associated with fermentation related phenotypes and are unique to this fermentation study. The Venn diagrams therefore depict the number of genes within the 83 FEG dataset which upon deletion, leads to either increased sensitivity or decreased resistance to conditions relevant to fermentation, such as anaerobic growth, ethanol toxicity, osmotic and oxidative stress and temperature extremes.
