Abstract
The present invention concerns novel Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast strains capable of multiplying on a substrate comprising at least one C5 sugar with a speed and rate of multiplication compatible with the industrial production of yeast. It also concerns novel strains which, when cultured, make it possible to obtain yeasts having an application efficiency, i.e. an efficiency that is satisfactory in applications and uses of interest in industries such as breadmaking, biomass production, flavour production, the production of secondary metabolites, protein production, ethanol production, brewing, winemaking or the production of yeast extract.
