Editorial Reviews

Contributors from universities and food, pharmaceutical, and brewing companies detail the current state of yeast strain development and handling, highlighting advances in yeast selection for academic research, industry, and recombinant DNA technology. Featuring the use of Saccharomyces and other yeasts in the biotechnology industry and in the production of novel pharmaceutical products, outlines the classical approaches to yeast strain selection. Describes yeast with particular diverse metabolic functions; examines the factors that affect the fitness and survival of yeast specimens in nature; assesses criteria for strain selection in the bread, wine and beer industries; reviews recent progress in the development of strains for the production of extracellular enzymes; and considers fuel ethanol.
