Taxonomy of some wine yeast and related species.Peer-reviewed article

E. MINÁRIK, A. KOCKOVÁ-KRATOCHVÍLOVÁ

A series of tests has been carried out to find out, whether technologic properties of various strains of Saccharomyces vini and related species can be used as a taxonomic criterion for their identification this being a part of taxonomic work aimed at the typification of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Fermentation of wine differs substantially from other branches of fermentation industry in having an extremely wide range of species and strains which can be successfully employed in fermenting processes and technologic properties of yeast provide therefore no reliable base for classification. The results of test carried out with unfermented must confirm this conclusion.(In Slovak, English summary only)
