BSI’s yeast strains have been genetically typed in our lab using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis. BSI has determined that some Saison and Belgian strains may contain the STA1 gene. Almost all of these strains demonstrating the STA1 gene however are not superattenuators as determined by in-house testing.
