Vitis species, vintage, and alcoholic fermentation do not drive population structure in Starmerella bacillaris (synonym Candida zemplinina) species.

The yeast species Starmerella bacillaris (synonym Candida zemplinina) is widely associated with oenological ecosystems and is frequently isolated from grape and grape must. Previous work showed that the genetic diversity of this species is high in wine environments and it is shaped by geographic location. Most analysed C.

Differences Between Indigenous Yeast Populations in Spontaneously Fermenting Musts From L. and L. Grapes Harvested in the Same Geographic Location.

Yeast communities associated with L. ecosystems have been widely characterized. Less is known, however, about yeast communities present in grapes and fermenting musts from non- ecosystems.
