Two strains, D5088T and D5095, representing a novel yeast species belonging to the genus Saccharomyces were isolated from oak tree bark and surrounding soil located at an altitude of 1000 m above sea level in Saint Auban, France. Sequence analyses of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region and 26S rRNA D1/D2 domains indicated that the two strains were most closely related to Saccharomyces mikatae and Saccharomyces paradoxus. Genetic hybridization analyses showed that both strains are reproductively isolated from all other Saccharomyces species and, therefore, represent a distinct biological species. The species name Saccharomyces jurei sp. nov. is proposed to accommodate these two strains, with D5088T (=CBS 14759T=NCYC 3947T) designated as the type strain.

Hybridisation is an important evolutionary mechanism to bring about novel phenotypes and may produce new hybrids with advantageous combinations of traits of industrial importance. Within the Saccharomyces genus, Saccharomyces jurei is a newly discovered species and its biotechnological potential has not yet been fully explored. This yeast was found to be able to grow well in unhopped wort and at low temperatures, qualities necessary in good candidates for fermented bevarages.

The successful application of and in brewery fermentations has highlighted the potential of wild yeasts for brewing, and prompted investigation into the application potential of other members of the genus. Here, we evaluate, for the first time, the brewing potential of . The newly isolated strain from an ash tree () in Upper Bavaria, Germany, close to the river Isar, was used to ferment a 12°P wort at 15°C.

Despite Saccharomyces cerevisiae being a synonym for baker's yeast, the species does not perform well in all baking-related conditions. In particular, dough fermentation, or proofing, is compromised by the species' sensitivity to the low and freezing temperatures that are often used in modern bakeries. Here, screening trials that included representatives of all known Saccharomyces species, showed that S.

complex consist of yeast species, which are not only important in the fermentation industry but are also model systems for genomic and ecological analysis. Here, we present the complete genome assemblies of , a newly discovered species from high altitude oaks. Phylogenetic and phenotypic analysis revealed that is more closely related to , than , and The karyotype of presents two reciprocal chromosomal translocations between chromosome VI/VII and I/XIII when compared to the genome.
