Gi. Naumov et al., TAXOGENETICS OF THE SACCHAROMYCES SENSU-STRICTO YEASTS FROM WESTERN AND SOUTH-AFRICA, Cryptogamie. Mycologie, 14(4), 1993, pp. 263-270
Using genetic hybridization analysis, we reidentified Saccharomyces se
nsu stricto strains isolated from soil in South africa (J.P. van der W
alt, 1970) as two biological sibling species S. cerevisiae Hansen and
S. paradoxus Batschinskaia, The latter was found for the first time in
Africa. Three Saccharomyces strains isolated from different wines in
Western Africa (A. Guillermond, 1914) belong to S. cerevisiae and harb
or each unique set of sucrose fermenting polymeric SUC1, SUC2 and SUC3
genes.
