Since the problems that arise in breeding of yeasts have been brought forward by Winge et al. (1935) and Lindegren et al. (1943), various practical applications have been attempted (Winge and Laustsen 1938, Yamamoto 1940, Oda et al. 1956, Fowell 1958, Johnston 1963. This report describes a similar attempt to breed a bakers` yeast superior in the osmo-resistant fermenting ability with the aid of the genetical technique.
