  • Title: Nonconventional yeasts: their genetics and biotechnological applications.
    Author: Weber H, Barth G.
    Journal: Crit Rev Biotechnol; 1988; 7(4):281-337. PubMed ID: 3064923.
    Abstract:
    To date, more than 500 species of yeasts have been described. Most of the genetic and biochemical studies have, however, been carried out with Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Although a considerable amount of knowledge has been accumulated on fundamental processes and biotechnological applications of this industrially important yeast, the large variety of other yeast genera and species may offer various advantages for experimental study as well as for product formation in biotechnology. The genetic investigation of these so-called unconventional yeasts is poorly developed and information about corresponding data is dispersed. It is the aim of this review to summarize and discuss the main results of genetic studies and biotechnological applications of unconventional yeasts and to serve as a guide for scientists who wish to enter this field or are interested in only some aspects of these yeasts.
