Abstract

Methods and compositions are provided relating to yeasts capable of improved fermentation of sugars. Particularly, genes from the MAL locus are used for transformation of yeast hosts, where the genes are under the wild-type promoter or a strong promoter which provides for regulatable or constitive expression under the conditions of fermentation. Particularly, the yeast hosts find use in the leavening of dough.
