Strain JAY291 is a haploid spore from the industrial diploid strain JAY270. JAY270 and related strains are widely used in Brazil for bioethanol production from sugarcane feedstock. This strain combines high productivity in bioethanol fermentation with an extraordinary ability to tolerate stress and to outcompete microbial contaminants, dominating the microbial population in the industrial setting and thus ensuring an efficient and stable fermentation for several months.
