FEMS Yeast Research

As of 2006, title transferred to Blackwell Publishing Ltd.

The journal publishes high-quality original research papers and mini-reviews that cover both yeast and yeast-like organisms. The editors aim to cover the entire field of yeast research in its broadest sense. The audience of the journal will include yeast researchers in academic institutions, but also those that use yeast as a model organism or work in industry.

The following list of disciplines is not exclusive but these main topics are explicitly mentioned here to illustrate the wide spectrum of topics covered by the journal: physiology, taxonomy, phylogenetics, evolution, biodiversity, ecology, genetics, molecular biology, metabolic engineering, biotechnology, food microbiology, heterologous protein production and secretion, pathogenic yeasts, typing and diagnostics.

In the field of physiology, the journal encourages submission of papers in rapidly developing fields like: cell cycle, morphogenesis, cell wall, organelle biosynthesis, cell ageing, metabolic regulation, transport, energetics, stress response, and signal transduction. Submissions dealing with genome sequencing and functional genomics are welcomed and greatly encouraged, as are papers in the important new area of comparative genomics.
