S. cerevisiae NRRL Y-265 (FloI phenotype) was the yeast strain used in the experiments. Cultures of this yeast were maintained at 4 °C in Petri dishes containing YM-agar medium with the following composition (g/L): glucose (10), peptone (5), yeast extract (3) malt extract (3), and agar (20). To be used in the fermentation assays, one colony was recovered from the maintenance plate, cultivated in a new YM-agar medium at 30 °C during 48 h, and then one colony was inoculated in 250-mL Erlenmeyer flasks containing 50 mL of YM medium, which were maintained in an orbital shaker at 30 °C and 200 rpm, for 24 h. After this time, the obtained inoculum was recovered and used in the fermentation assays. For liquid flask cultures, a constant inoculum volume was used (10%).
