Saccharomyces cerevisiae
The tetraploid Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain GSY2239 was derived from the industrial brewing strain GSY161 (Wyeast Laboratories strain 1833; probable origin Duvel Moortgat Brewery, Belgium). GSY161 was sporulated and diploid progeny were isolated using tetrad microdissection. A single diploid spore was self-mated to form tetraploid strain GSY2167. An additional round of meiosis and self-mating was performed on isolate GSY2167 to minimize heterozygosity, yielding isolate GSY2239.
