Abstract
Developments in yeast genetics, biochemistry, physiology and process engineering provided bases of rapid development in modern biotechnology. Elaboration of the recombinant DNA technique is far the most important milestone in this field. Other molecular genetic techniques, as molecular genotyping of yeast strains proved also very beneficial in yeast fermentation technologies. Saccharomyces cerevisiaeis the most exploited eukaryotic microorganism in biotechnology but non-Saccharomycesspecies are becoming more and more important in the production of perfectly translated heterologous proteins.
