Construction and characterization of a Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain able to grow on glucosamine as sole carbon and nitrogen source.
Article in Scientific reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Saccharomyces cerevisiae can transport and phosphorylate glucosamine, but cannot grow on this amino sugar. While an enzyme catalyzing the reaction from glucosamine-6-phosphate to fructose-6-phosphate, necessary for glucosamine catabolism, is present in yeasts using N-acetylglucosamine as carbon source, a sequence homology search suggested that such an enzyme is absent from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The gene YlNAG1 encoding glucosamine-6-phosphate deaminase from Yarrowia lipolytica was introduced into S. cerevisiae and growth in glucosamine tested. The constructed strain grew in glucosamine as only carbon and nitrogen source. Growth on the amino sugar required respiration and caused an important ammonium excretion. Strains overexpressing YlNAG1 and one of the S. cerevisiae glucose transporters HXT1, 2, 3, 4, 6 or 7 grew in glucosamine. The amino sugar caused catabolite repression of different enzymes to a lower extent than that produced by glucose. The availability of a strain of S. cerevisiae able to grow on glucosamine opens new possibilities to investigate or manipulate pathways related with glucosamine metabolism in a well-studied organism.
