Genome-wide RNAi screen reveals the E3 SUMO-protein ligase gene SIZ1 as a novel determinant of furfural tolerance in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Table 1 Furfural tolerance assay of siz1Δ mutant and its complementary derivatives

Strain	Maximum specific growth rate (h^-1)
BAD	0.15 ± 0.00
siz1Δ	0.26 ± 0.00
siz1Δ-P	0.26 ± 0.01
siz1Δ-SIZ1	0.19 ± 0.00
gcn4Δ	0.16 ± 0.01

Strains were grown in the presence of 0.8 g/L furfural. Results are presented as mean ± SD (n = 3).
