Selected cachaça yeast strains share a genomic profile related to traits relevant to industrial fermentation processes.

Abstract

This work demonstrates the existence of new genetic markers related to different phenotypes used to select yeast strains and mutations in genes directly involved in producing flavoring compounds and ethanol, and others related to flocculation and stress resistance.
