RESUMO
Hybridization by spore conjugation was used to develop new and improved wine yeasts of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The procedure was achieved with diploid, homothallic strains with high sporulation frequency and high spore viability. The method was verified by crossing flocculent and non-H2S-forming strains. Single-spore descendants of the hybrids were studied by tetrad analysis with regard to the aforementioned characters and the other two winemaking traits, i.e., ethanol production and fermentation rate. A highly flocculent, non-H2S-forming wine yeast strain with a high fermentation rate and high ethanol production was obtained.
