The paper identifies widespread Saccharomyces hybridization in agave fermentations, showing multiple independent origins and asymmetric parental genetic diversity.

The paper analyzes 178 genomes of Kluyveromyces marxianus to show two distinct evolutionary trajectories within the species, one linked to domestication and the other to deep lineage divergence.

The paper analyzes S. cerevisiae isolates from agave fermentation in Mexico, revealing geographical population structure and multiple introgression events in the Neotropics.

The paper sequenced Hanseniaspora yeasts from agave fermentations, revealing dynamic gene loss across species and functional categories without clear phenotypic consequences.

This study examines the distribution and ecological divergence of Saccharomyces species in Mexican environments, revealing distinct population structures and dispersal patterns between wild and fermentative habitats.

This study analyzes microbial communities in agave fermentations across Mexico, finding that distillery-specific practices shape microbial composition, with core taxa present in most fermentations.
