Knowing The Yeast Genome May Eventually Produce Better Wines

Knowing Yeast Genome Produces Better Wine -- Science Daily

ScienceDaily (June 4, 2012) — The yeast Dekkera bruxellensis plays an important role in the production of wine, as it can have either a positive or a negative impact on the taste. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden, among others, have analyzed the yeast's genome sequenced by the US Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute, giving wine producers the possibility to take control of the flavour development of the wine.

Yeasts are an important ingredient in the production of various types of food, for example wine, and they make a major contribution to the taste.
