NOVEL YEAST HAVING AGGLUTINATIVE PROPERTY AND FERMENTATIVE PROPERTY, AND ALCOHOLIC FERMENTATION PROCESS

摘要

NEW MATERIAL:A yeast, Saccharomyces FRM17VM2-1 (FERM P-7792) having excellent agglutinative property as well as excellent alcoholic fermentation capability. USE:A yeast for producing an alcohol such as ethanol. PREPARATION:A yeast having agglutinative property [Saccharomyces cerevisiae RM-17 (FERM P-7770)] is subjected to the protoplast fusion treatment with a yeast free from agglutinative property [Saccharomyces cerevisiae VM-2 (FERM P-7788)], and the fused cell is cultured.
