Three strains used in this study belong to the species Lthermotolerans (B13), K.unispora (M3-B3) and S. cerevisiae (2PV) coming from different un-anthropized environments and spontaneously processed foods. These strains were isolated, identified and characterized as probiotic and/or functional strains and tested in wort fermentation trials [23 (link),24 (link)]. All of the yeast strains were maintained at 4 °C for short-term storage in YPD agar (yeast extract 10 g/L, peptone 20 g/L, dextrose 20 g/L, (agar 18 g/L) (Oxoid, Basingstoke, UK) and in YPD broth supplemented with 80% (w/v) glycerol at −80 °C, for long-term storage.
