“…Little can be said about the second group of identities because the origin of SC24 is known (Brazil), but that of SC23 is uncertain. These observations confirm the conclusion that RAPD variation is related to geographic origin of the strains compared, which has been drawn from comparisons of RAPD profiles of pathogenic yeast strains (Cardinali et al 2002) and cactophilic yeast (Starmer et al 1992;Ganter and Quarles 1997;Ganter and de Barros Lopes 2000). In the case of the pathogenic yeast strains, the RAPD data were analysed in the same manner as the RAPD data in this paper (Cardinali et al 2002).…”

Aims: Two different strain characterization techniques, random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and killer toxin sensitivity (KTS), were compared to assess their typing performance using a set of 30 certified Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains. Methods and Results: A sequential random resampling procedure was employed to subdivide the 32 descriptors in eight sets, in order to compare the differential performances of the two techniques with diverse number of characters. Results showed that RAPD performs better than killer, although the complete differentiation of the strains under study could be obtained only by combining profiles from the two techniques Conclusions: The combination of different typing techniques was useful when discriminating similar organisms. In such cases, the introduction of a second typing technique can be more advantageous than increasing the number of characters obtained with a single method. Significance and Impact of the Study: The distribution of among-strains pairwise distances and the relative performance of the two techniques has implications for the study of biodiversity, taxonomy and microbial ecology.

Wine is a complex beverage, comprising thousands of metabolites that are produced through the action of a plethora of yeasts and bacteria during fermentation of grape must. These microbial communities originate in the vineyard and the winery and reflect the influence of several factors including grape variety, geographical location, climate, vineyard spraying, technological practices, processing stage and season (pre-harvest, harvest, post-harvest). Vineyard and winery microbial communities have the potential to participate during fermentation and influence wine flavour and aroma. Therefore, there is an enormous interest in isolating and characterising these communities, particularly non-Saccharomyces yeast species to increase wine flavour diversity, while also exploting regional signature microbial populations to enhance regionality. In this review we describe the role and relevance of the main non-Saccharomyces yeast species found in vineyards and wineries. This includes the latest reports covering the application of these species for winemaking; and the biotechnological characteristics and potential applications of non-Saccharomyces species in other areas. In particular, we focus attention on the species for which molecular and genomic tools and resources are available for study. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

M . BONILLA-SALINAS. P. L A P P E , M . U L L O A , M . G A R C~A -G A R I B A Y AND L. G O M E Z -R U I Z . 1995. A total of 13 yeast strains were isolated from 10 samples of sugar cane molasses obtained from sugar mills in Mexico; nine of them were killer strains. T h e r e was a t least one killer strain in every sample. T h e resulting species were the following : Torulaspora delbrueckii (2), Schizosaccharomyces pombe (7), Cryptococcus albidus var. albidus ( 1) and Saccharomyces I . 1 . cerevisiae (3). A new killer species is reported Schixosaccharomyces pombe.
