organism: Saccharomyces pastorianus
description: Lager brewing strains of Saccharomyces pastorianus are natural interspecific hybrids originating from spontaneous hybridization of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Saccharomyces eubayanus. Over the past 500 years, S. pastorianus has been domesticated to become one of the most important industrial microorganisms. Production of lager-type beers requires a set of essential phenotypes, including the ability to ferment maltose and maltotriose at low temperature, production of flavors and aromas and the ability to flocculate. Saccharomyces carlsbergensis in a S. pastorianus group I. S. carlsbergensis is synonymous to S. pastorianus.
