YEAST STRAIN WITH HIGH POWER TO PRODUCE ALCOHOL

BY FERMENTATION

Kazuo Saito, Hitoshi Shimoi, Shunichi Sato, Makoto Tadenuma, Kiyoshi Yoshizawa, Kazuhito Moriya, Chikashi Izumi, Tokyo, Japan assigned to Tax Administration Agency Ministry of Finance; Hokkaido Sugar Co Ltd

A yeast strain with high power to produce alcohol by fermentation is produced by a method comprising directly conjugating the haploid of the strain No. 909-I with each tetrad of the ascospores of the strain No. 180 by spore- to-cell mating, acclimating the resultant zygote in the medium of waste after alcohol fermenta- tion, and acclimating the surviving cells of the zygote in the medium of the beet molasses con- taining 2-deoxyglucose. The yeast strain pro- duced is designated as Strain M-9 (FERM BP 1481) of genus Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Alcohol is produced by culturing the Strain M-9 in a medium of beet molasses.
