Abstract
The present invention concerns yeast strains that have improved properties relative to the specialized strains that are used in the production of first-generation ethanol. In particular, the strains of the invention have an increased ethanol yield, a lower production of glycerol and ethanol production kinetics that are similar or slightly slower than standard strain D1B. The present invention also concerns the yeasts obtained by culturing said strains, and the use of said yeasts and/or of said strains in the industrial production of ethanol.
