Saccharomyces pastorianus

◐ Food-origin
Sequenced
Public genome assembly available

Saccharomyces pastorianus is a hybrid yeast species — a natural cross between Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Saccharomyces eubayanus — responsible for lager beer fermentation and widely used in the brewing industry. It is taxonomically related to but distinct from Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. boulardii, the well-studied probiotic yeast. No strain-specific research evidence was identified in our index for S. pastorianus in a probiotic or human health context. It is described here as a food-grade yeast with an established role in fermented beverage production rather than as a probiotic organism.
