Abstract

A rapid and efficient method for isolating and selecting thermotolerant and sugar-fermenting yeasts was developed. Several samples from sugar cane by-products could be analyzed at the same time. Yeast cultures could be isolated in about 3 d, in contrast to the conventional methods, and its fermentative ability was qualitatively maintained at the desired temperature. A broad spectrum of temperatures can be tested. Yeasts of generaSaccharomyces andKluyveromyces were easily identified.
