The yeast of the genus Zygosaccharomyces have had a long history as spoilage yeasts within the food industry. This is mainly because these species can grow in the presence of high sucrose, ethanol, acetic acid , sorbic acid , benzoic acid , and sulfur dioxide concentrations, [ 74 ] representing some of the commonly used food preservation methods.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (/ ˌ s ɛr ə ˈ v ɪ s i. iː /) (brewer's yeast or baker's yeast) is a species of yeast (single-celled fungal microorganisms). The species has been instrumental in winemaking, baking, and brewing since ancient times. It is believed to have been originally isolated from the skin of grapes.

Saccharomyces is from Greek σάκχαρον (sugar) and μύκης (fungus) and means sugar fungus.Many members of this genus are considered very important in food production where they are known as brewer's yeast, baker's yeast and sourdough starter among others.

Saccharomycotina is a subdivision (subphylum) of the division (phylum) Ascomycota in the kingdom Fungi. [2] [3] It comprises most of the ascomycete yeasts.The members of Saccharomycotina reproduce by budding and they do not produce ascocarps (fruiting bodies).
Komagataella is a methylotrophic yeast within the order Saccharomycetales. It was found in the 1960s as Pichia pastoris, with its feature of using methanol as a source of carbon and energy. [2] In 1995, P. pastoris was reassigned into the sole representative of genus Komagataella, becoming Komagataella phaffii. [3]
Yeast species of the genus Saccharomyces are also used to produce alcoholic beverages through fermentation. [260] Shoyu koji mold ( Aspergillus oryzae ) is an essential ingredient in brewing Shoyu ( soy sauce ) and sake , and the preparation of miso , [ 261 ] while Rhizopus species are used for making tempeh .
