"Saccharomyces bayanus" is a yeast of the genus "Saccharomyces", and is used in winemaking and cider fermentation. It is closely related to "Saccharomyces cerevisiae". Both "Saccharomyces bayanus" and "Saccharomyces pastorianus" contain diverse strains, with different genetic and metabolic characteristics, that may have a hybrid origin. In their current classification, both "S. bayanus" and "S. pastorianus" may be more correctly regarded as species complexes. [S. Rainieri, Y. Kodama, Y. Kaneko, K. Mikata, Y. Nakao, and T. Ashikari (2006), [http://aem.asm.org/cgi/reprint/72/6/3968 Pure and Mixed Genetic Lines of Saccharomyces bayanus and Saccharomyces pastorianus and Their Contribution to the Lager Brewing Strain Genome.] Appl. Envir. Microbiol. 72, 3968-3974]
