Scientists in Chile harnessed the biodiversity of Patagonia to make novel yeast hybrids, potentially paving the way for new ...

Lager beers, which are brewed at low temperatures, dominate the global market, accounting for more than 90% of commercial ...

Humans mix yeast strains to combine desirable characteristics ... This is likely due to polyploidy keeping the lager and ale populations mostly unchanged. Finally, because many of the beer ...

Both get their distinctive flavours from fermentation—the conversion of sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide—by single-celled fungi known as yeast. Different yeast strains fed the exact same sugary ...

Hybrids of wild Patagonian strains and traditional brewer’s yeast had mutations that enhanced alcohol production. Researchers ...

Orange-colored galls on beech trees in the Patagonia region of Argentina have been found to harbor the yeast that makes lager beer possible, solving a mystery that has long puzzled scientists.

Lager beers, which are brewed at low temperatures, dominate the global market, accounting for over 90% of commercial beer ...

For the first time in Europe, scientists have discovered the ancestor of the yeast species necessary for the production of lager beer. Brewing is one of the oldest human industries, and scientists ...

"Our study takes advantage of the great genetic diversity of wild Patagonian yeast to create novel hybrid strains of lager beer with enhanced fermentation capacity and unique aroma profiles." ...
