Saccaromyces bayanus var uvarum |
Saccharomyces uvarum is a species of yeast that is believed to originate as a hybrid of S. cerevisiae and S. monacensis, because of its allopolyploid genome[citation needed]. It is a bottom-fermenting yeast, so-called because it does not form the foam on top of the wort that top-fermenting yeast does.
Further research was done by Martinus Willem Beijerinck in 1898, it was synonymized with S. bayanus but revived by Nguyen & Gaillardin in 2005.[1]
