Boldface indicates the collection from which we obtained the isolate.

a(CBS) Centraalbureau voor Schimmelcultures, Utrecht, The Netherlands; (DBVPG) Dipartimento Biologia Vegetale Perugia, Yeast Industrial Collection, Perugia, Italy; (NCYC) National Collection of Yeast Cultures, Norwich, UK.

bSuperscript numbers 1 and 2 indicate strains in Liti et al. (2005) that were placed into two groups based on repeat sequences.

Note that most strains were most likely serially propagated at breweries until the time of collection, at which point they were “evolutionarily arrested” by being kept in a frozen state; this may not be true for the oldest cultures, however, due to the lack of freezers until the mid-century.
