  • Patent number: 9605237
    Abstract: The present invention relates to yeast strains and, in particular, to yeast strains for use in fermentation processes. The invention also relates to methods of fermentation using the yeast strains of the invention either alone or in combination with other yeast strains. The invention further relates to methods for the selection of yeast strains suitable for fermentation cultures by screening for various metabolic products and the use of specific nutrient sources.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20020138880
    Abstract: A method of isolating genes conferring resistance to aluminium is provided and two particular aluminium tolerant genes are described. These genes are designated ALR1 and ALR2. The two tolerance genes were isolated from yeast strains but were found to have homology with bacterial genes responsible for divalent ion uptake. Hence a method of isolating divalent cation transporters is envisaged by using complementation of magnesium transporter mnutant strains of yeasts aluminium tolerance genes.
