Abstract
Twenty-one Saccharomyces strains isolated from a cider process were analyse d in terms of karyotypes, Y' S. cerevisiae sequence occurrence, rDNA struct ure and cross-fertility with species tester strains. A strong predominance of S. bayanus var. uvarum G, Naumov was found (18 strains vs. three S. cere visiae). Among the S. bayanus var. uvarum, only three strains proved to con tain species-specific Y' S. cerevisiae sequences. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
