Saccharomyces cerevisiae dominant strains

With a few exceptions (Nisiotou et al., 2007), Saccharomyces strains dominate fermentation sooner or later, as in nonbotrytized wine. A special feature of botrytized fermentations is that, beside various S. cerevisiae races, S. uvarum (formerly known as S. bayanus var. uvarum) is typically isolated from these wines (Antunovics et al., 2003 Magyar et al., 2008 Minarik and Laho, 1962 Naumov et al., 2000, 2002 Sipiczki et al., 2001 Tosi et al., 2009). This species seems to be well adapted to sweet wine fermentations, particularly, but not exclusively, in cooler climates.
