The Saccharomyces sensu stricto group encompasses species ranging from the industrially ubiquitous yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae to those that are confined to geographically limited environmental niches. The wealth of genomic data that are now available for the Saccharomyces genus is providing unprecedented insights into the genomic processes that can drive speciation and evolution, both in the natural environment and in response to human-driven selective forces during the historical "domestication" of these yeasts for baking, brewing, and winemaking.
狭义酿酒酵母属包含多种酵母,从在工业上广泛存在的酿酒酵母到那些局限于地理范围有限的生态位中的酵母。目前可获得的酿酒酵母属丰富的基因组数据,为驱动物种形成和进化的基因组过程提供了前所未有的见解,这些过程既发生在自然环境中,也发生在这些酵母在烘焙、酿造和酿酒的历史“驯化”过程中对人类驱动的选择压力的响应中。
