NOVEL ALCOHOL PRODUCING YEAST SACCHAROMYCES CEREVISIAE HA3

摘要

A novel alcohol-producing yeast strain isolated from traditional yeast used for brewing is provided to be industrially used for mass-producing Korean traditional liquors named as Hahyangju. A Saccharomyces cerevisiae HA3 strain has a gene sequence descried as SEQ ID : NO. 1 or 2 with excellent glucose tolerance, alcohol-resistance, acid generation capacity, and ethanol fermentation capability and is deposited as a deposition number of KACC 93039P. The strain is obtained by separating yeast from traditional yeast used for brewing, selecting and identifying the yeast with high applicability for mass-producing Hahyangju therefrom and then comparing the characteristics of the obtained yeast.
