MODIFIED INDUSTRIAL YEAST STRAINS

摘要

The present invention relates to modified industrial yeast strains that show reduced hydrogen sulfide production. In one embodiment the invention provides an industrial yeast strain comprising a modification in a MET5 gene and/or a MET10 gene which results in reduced hydrogen sulfide production when compared to the corresponding industrial yeast strain without the modification. The present invention also relates to methods of manufacturing these modified industrial yeast strains and their use in the production of fermented products.
