Brettanomyces bruxellensis is a unicellular fungus of increasing industrial and scientific
interest over the past 15 years. Previous studies revealed high genotypic diversity amongst B. …

The budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is certainly the prime industrial microorganism
and is related to many biotechnological applications including food fermentations, biofuel …

Meiotic recombination is a driving force for genome evolution, deeply characterized in a few
model species, notably in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Interestingly, Zip2, …

Natural Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast strains exhibit very large genotypic and phenotypic
diversity. Breeding programs that take advantage of this characteristic are widely used for …

The identification of natural allelic variations controlling quantitative traits could contribute to
decipher metabolic adaptation mechanisms within different populations of the same species…

Background The ability of a genotype to produce different phenotypes according to its surrounding
environment is known as phenotypic plasticity. Within different individuals of the same …

This work describes the set up of a small scale fermentation methodology for measuring
quantitative traits of hundreds of samples in an enological context. By using standardized screw …

Hybridization is known to improve complex traits due to heterosis and phenotypic robustness.
However, these phenomena have been rarely explained at the molecular level. Here, the …

Background Fermentation completion is a major prerequisite in many industrial processes
involving the bakery yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Stuck fermentations can be due to the …

The ability of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae to adapt to the changing environment of
industrial processes lies in the activation and coordination of many molecular pathways. The …
