Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome sequences of three Saccharomyces cerevisiae flor strains used for the production of sherry-like wines in Russia were sequenced. The phylogenetic analysis showed that despite their origin from different georgaphic regions, these strains formed a single cluster, also including the wine yeast strain YJM 270.

Keywords: Flor yeast; Saccharomyces cerevisiae; mitogenome.
