Abstract
- Yeasts have been involved in bread making since ancient times and have thus played an important role in the history and nutrition of humans. Bakery-associated yeasts have only recently attracted the attention of researchers outside of the bread industry. More than 30 yeast species are involved in bread making, and significant progress has been achieved in describing these species. Here, we present a review of bread-making processes and history, and we describe the diversity of yeast species and the genetic diversity of Saccharomyces cerevisiae isolated from bakeries. We then describe the metabolic functioning and diversity of these yeasts and their relevance to improvements in bread quality. Finally, we examine yeast and bacterial interactions in sourdoughs. The purpose of this review is to show that bakery yeast species are interesting models for studying domestication and other evolutionary and ecological processes. Studying these yeasts can contribute much to our fundamental understanding of speciation, evolutionary dynamics, and community assembly, and this knowledge could ultimately be used to adjust, modify, and improve the production of bread and the conservation of microbial diversity.
