ABSTRACT
The adequate application of Brettanomyces species could raise a potential opportunity for the beer industry, generating new products and optimizing production processes. Several valuable properties like high ethanol yield, tolerance to low pH and production of unique flavors have brought this yeast species into the spotlight. Aroma and flavor production of Brettanomyces in beer is currently under discussion, and it can be adjusted if the mechanism insights are understood. This review summarizes the recent findings in physiological, genetic and biochemical traits related to the application of Brettanomyces species for brewing.
