title: Hybrids obtained by protoplast fusion with a salt-tolerant yeast.
abstract: An industrial strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was fused with an osmotolerant yeast, Debaryomyces hansenii, to obtain hybrids having increased tolerance to elevated salt concentrations. The hybrids were intermediate to parent species in production of ethanol and polyols.
