Incidence of killer yeast in cane molasses and status of industrial yeasts with respect to killer character

Year: 2003

Type: article

Abstract: In all, 210 yeast strains isolated from molasses were screened for killer, sensitive or neutral character against reference killer (Saccharomyces cerevisiae MTCC427) and sensitive strains (Saccharomyces cerevisiae MTCC 473). Thirteen strains were found to he of killer phenotype and 32 were sensitive, and rest of the isolates belonged to genera Saccharomyces, Schizosaccharomyces, Kluyveromyces, Hansenula, Pichia, Kloeckere, and Torulopsis were of neutral character. All the killer strains belonged to genera Sacchromyces. Twenty-one industrial yeast strains including distillery and brewery yeasts tested were found to be of sensitive character.
