Functional Analysis of the FZF1 Genes of Saccharomyces uvarum [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Being a sister species of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Saccharomyces uvarum shows great potential regarding the future of the wine industry. The sulfite tolerance of most S. uvarum strains is poor, however.

An indigenous Saccharomyces uvarum population with high genetic diversity dominates uninoculated Chardonnay fermentations at a Canadian winery. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2021 Saccharomyces cerevisiae is the primary yeast species responsible for most fermentations in winemaking. However, other yeasts, including Saccharomyces uvarum, have occasionally been found conducting commercial fermentations around the world. S. uvarum is

A Unique Saccharomyces cerevisiae × Saccharomyces uvarum Hybrid Isolated From Norwegian Farmhouse Beer: Characterization and Reconstruction [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 An unknown interspecies Saccharomyces hybrid, “Muri,” was recently isolated from a “kveik” culture, a traditional Norwegian farmhouse brewing yeast culture (Preiss et al., 2018). Here we used whole genome sequencing to reveal the strain as an allodiploid

Novel Saccharomyces uvarum x Saccharomyces kudriavzevii synthetic hybrid with enhanced 2-phenylethanol production [PDF]
Microbial Cell FactoriesBackground Over the last two decades, hybridization has been a powerful tool used to construct superior yeast for brewing and winemaking. Novel hybrids were primarily constructed using at least one Saccharomyces cerevisiae parent.

Understanding the role of GRE3 in the erythritol biosynthesis pathway in Saccharomyces uvarum and its implication in osmoregulation and redox homeostasis [PDF]
Microbial Biotechnology, 2023 Erythritol is produced in yeasts via the reduction of erythrose into erythritol by erythrose reductases (ERs). However, the genes codifying for the ERs involved in this reaction have not been described in any Saccharomyces species yet. In our laboratory,

Convergent adaptation of Saccharomyces uvarum to sulfite, an antimicrobial preservative widely used in human-driven fermentations. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2021 Different species can find convergent solutions to adapt their genome to the same evolutionary constraints, although functional convergence promoted by chromosomal rearrangements in different species has not previously been found.

Long-Read Genome Assembly of Saccharomyces uvarum Strain CBS 7001. [PDF]
Microbiol Resour Announc, 2022 Here, we report a long-read genome assembly for Saccharomyces uvarum strain CBS 7001 based on PacBio whole-genome shotgun sequence data. Our assembly provides an improved reference genome for an important yeast in the Saccharomyces sensu stricto clade.
