Introducing a new breed of wine yeast: interspecific hybridisation between a commercial Saccharomyces cerevisiae wine yeast and Saccharomyces mikatae.
Interspecific hybrids are commonplace in agriculture and horticulture; bread wheat and grapefruit are but two examples.The benefits derived from interspecific hybridisation include the potential of generating advantageous transgressive phenotypes.This paper describes the generation of edgewater shoes a new breed of wine yeast by interspecific hybri
