Cross-species gene transfer is often associated with bacteria, which have evolved several
mechanisms that facilitate horizontal DNA exchange. However, the increased availability of …

The natural interspecies Saccharomyces cerevisiae× Saccharomyces eubayanus hybrid
yeast is responsible for global lager beer production and is one of the most important …

Oleaginous photosynthetic organisms such as microalgae are promising sources for biofuel
production through the generation of carbon-neutral sustainable energy. However, the …

A combination of biological and non‐biological factors has led to the interspecific hybrid
yeast species Saccharomyces pastorianus becoming one of the world's most important …

Two distinct genetic groups (Saaz and Frohberg) exist within the hybrid Saccharomyces
pastorianus (S. cerevisiae× S. eubayanus) taxon. However, physiological/technological …

The genomes of hybrid organisms, such as lager yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae×

Alcoholic fermentations have accompanied human civilizations throughout our history.
Lager yeasts have a several-century-long tradition of providing fresh beer with clean taste …

An adaptive evolution method to obtain stable Saccharomyces pastorianus brewing yeast
variants with improved fermentation capacity is described. The procedure involved selection …

Diacetyl causes an unwanted buttery off-flavor in lager beer. It is spontaneously generated
from α-acetolactate, an intermediate of yeast's valine biosynthesis released during the main …

The lager yeasts, Saccharomyces pastorianus, are hybrids of Saccharomyces cerevisiae
and Saccharomyces eubayanus and are divided into two broad groups, Group I and II. The …
