The surfaces of grapes are covered by different yeast species that are important in the first
stages of the fermentation process. In recent years, non-Saccharomyces yeasts such as …

Polyploidy is a major evolutionary process in eukaryotes—particularly in plants and, to a
less extent, in animals, wherein several past and recent whole-genome duplication events …

Fermented beverages and foods have played a significant role in most societies worldwide
for millennia. To better understand how the yeast species Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the …

Industrial polyploid yeast strains harbor numerous beneficial traits but suffer from a lack of
available auxotrophic markers for genetic manipulation. Here we demonstrated a quick and …

Wine yeast strains show a high level of chromosome length polymorphism. This
polymorphism is mainly generated by illegitimate recombination mediated by Ty …

Saccharomyces boulardii, a yeast that was isolated from fruit in Indochina, has been used as
a remedy for diarrhea since 1950 and is now a commercially available treatment throughout …

Alcoholic fermentation is one of the main phases in wine production. It is usually conducted
by yeasts belonging to the species Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Industrial S. cerevisiae …

After whole‐genome duplication (WGD), deletions return most loci to single copy. However,
duplicate loci may survive through selection for increased dosage. Here, we show how the …

The PCR amplification and subsequent restriction analysis of the region spanning the
internal transcribed spacers (ITS1 and ITS2) and the 5.8 S rRNA gene was applied to the …

Background Genetic differences between yeast strains used in wine-making may account for
some of the variation seen in their fermentation properties and may also produce differing …
