Genetic Improvement of Wine Yeast

  • Chapter
Yeast Genetics

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Molecular Biology ((SSMOL))

Abstract

Until recently, most of the attention directed toward wine improvement has been concentrated upon improvement of grape varieties and their culture and on fermentation and wine-making practices. Relatively little has been paid to improvement of the other major organism involved in wine production, the wine yeast. This is now changing; papers reporting on genetic studies of wine yeasts are appearing with increasing frequency. For the wine maker it is extraordinarily fortunate that yeast has become one of the premier organisms for basic genetics research and is at the same time one of the leading industrial microorganisms. The wine maker can thus profit from both the impressive arsenal of genetic techniques and the extensive biochemical and molecular information on the yeast cell and also from decades of practical experience in handling it in large-scale industrial processes. A very comprehensive review of the genetics of all types of industrial yeasts has recently appeared (Johnston and Oberman 1979). Much of the information on brewing, baking, and dis-tilling yeasts is of direct interest to the wine yeast geneticist. The ability to utilize both conventional mutagenesis, hybridization, and selection programs in addition to the newly developed techniques of molecular cloning and protoplast fusion give yeast an advantage shared by few other organisms and should make possible the design of strains that a few years ago would have been impossible.
