Abstract

See full text

A mutant strain of Schizosaccharomyces #442 (ATCC46954) requiring both glucose and L-malic acid for growth has been produced which is capable of completely utilizing L-malic acid without substantial depletion of glucose. The mutant strain is known as Schizosaccharomyces malidevorans Rodriguez-Thornton #11 (ATCC20771). The yeast is capable of being used to remove L-malic acid from mediums including both L-malic acid and glucose thus making it possible to remove L-malic acid from juices without affecting sweetness, or from grape juices during wine-making conditions without affecting the quantities of glucose available for alcohol fermentation. The invention extends to juice products and wine made using such mutant strains.
